The newspaper reported that the depreciation of the ruble would not lead to a large outflow of foreign workers from Russia. “News”.
The article notes that in connection with the weakening of the Russian ruble, many media outlets began to talk about the expected significant decrease in the number of migrant workers. Many foreigners were expected to find working on the territory of the Russian Federation unprofitable, as the money earned by immigrants in Russia lost an average of 20 to 35% of the purchasing power.
However, experts interviewed by the newspaper believe that there will not be a significant decrease in the number of foreign workers. Currently, Russia remains the absolute leader in the post-Soviet space in terms of attractiveness for labor migrants. No other state can now meet the demand for the employment of such a significant number of unskilled labor. Therefore, citizens of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, which make up 80-85% of the foreigners in the Russian labor market, can only find employment periodically in countries other than Russia.
In addition, experts say that those living in Central Asia cannot compete with those from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan in the global labor market.
According to analysts, the demand for foreign labor by Russian enterprises is high and will not decrease in the future. Therefore, Russian companies will take measures to retain migrant workers by creating more attractive conditions for them, including raising their wages.
