The RUSSIA EXPO is hosting the National Achievements Forum: Human Resources Policy for the Modern Labor Market. The business program of the thematic day was kicked off by the plenary session "Key Results and Achievements of HR Policy for the Modern Labor Market", moderated by Anton Kotyakov, Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation.
He spoke about labor market trends in the new economic conditions, the key results of HR policy in the country and new opportunities it opens for employers, employees and those who are just starting their career path.
"Such strategic tasks as import substitution and ensuring the technological sovereignty of our country depend on the quality of employment and availability of qualified specialists. By the decision of the President, the reboot of the state system of employment promotion was included in the national projects, and from 2021 employment promotion is part of one of the most important of them - the Demography national project", - said Anton Kotyakov.
The minimum unemployment rate in the country indicates that Russia has a job seeker's labor market. "At the end of 2023, the unemployment rate was only 3.2% - this is a historical minimum, even though against the background of growing sanctions pressure most pessimistic forecasts and assessments of the current situation sounded in the country," said the Minister of Labor.
