Market Analysis

Information Unit (part of the investment holding company Finam) held a conference Labor Market: Year in crisis. The participants appreciated the need to attract foreign labor force for Russia's economy. According to experts, the use of migrant labor is common international practice, which, despite the emerging complexity, has proved quite successful.

Despite the economic crisis, Russia's labor market still continue to need foreign labor force, are confident the conference participants. The need to use labor migrants Director General of Economics and Law School FBK Sergei Pyatenko following reasons: a) needs manpower. B) Russia - lazy and immobile. The people want to work was brought to him on a plate, such as he wants them there, where he wants, and very well paid. In) Migrants create healthy competition and show the fair market value of unskilled labor. D) It is all over the world. Migrants from less developed countries are heading for unskilled jobs in the more developed.

President HeadHunter Group Yuri Virovets notes that in Russia the question of attracting migrants often accompanied by judgments that have no relation to reality. First, the widespread myth that migrants coming to Russia illiterate and unskilled. The second myth - workers come and stay. Most of the work is seasonal and is not planning to move to permanent residence in Russia. They live in gated communities and virtually no contact with the indigenous population. Third - economic development of Europe and the U.S. would have been impossible without immigration or without the transfer of production to China. Unfortunately, not everything can be automated, - said the expert.

With the attraction of migrants there are problems, but overall the experience of successful, believes Mr. Pyatenko. According to him, creating competition, migrants contribute to improving the quality of our labor: The influx of migrants leads to think that maybe the whole Russia's labor force before the crisis was overstated just some sort of 5-8, and for a long time whether this could be? Now overestimation decreased, but there are many works where workers will be able to do your work three times cheaper. Recall, for example, recognized the world's Hindus programmers. Twenty years ago, we could look at them down, thinking about the advantages of home education and school production software. And where are these benefits?

According to Mr. Virovtsa, the main problem of labor migrants is that foreigners are willing to work for a small fee, while the Russians - not: To work for a pittance, to produce highly intellectual products, which can not produce migrants. And with that, we are not very. Russia is only about 2% of world market Hi-tech (USA - 40%).
