In today's unemployment rate is one of the most significant indicators of the economy.The governments of all countries to allocate to support the labor market huge funds.But Russian politicians argue that there is no problem of unemployment in the Russian population is not threatened, it does not exist.If you believe the Federal State Statistics Service, in fact, the unemployment rate reaches only 6.5%.Let us now try to understand what lies behind these figures are and how our country is dangerous unemployment.
The average unemployment rate in the EU, despite a serious set of measures to protect the population, as of February of this year reached 10.8%.That is, even during the crisis of 2008-2009, the situation was not as severe as they are now.
Deceptive statistics
At the beginning of 2012, Vladimir Putin spoke with pride about the fact that the Russian Federation on the unemployment rate has fully recovered.In 2011, unemployment in Russia was only 6.2%, while in 2009 it exceeded 9%.
According to the Federal State Statistics Service, as of today in many regions of the country in the labor market there is a very tense situation.The most problematic regions of Russia began to Ingushetia, where the unemployment rate according to the first quarter of this year, more than 48.9%, and Tuva, Chechen Republic, Altai, Kabardino-Balkaria, Dagestan and other regions.The cause of the problem is poor integration into the production process in some regions, as well as overcrowding and corruption.
According to General Director of recruitment agency called Penny Lane Personnel Tatiana Dolyakovoy, unemployment in Russia will decrease when small businesses will feel more confident in the market and to establish domestic production.But this will require strong government support.University Graduates and at vari- ous need to be confident that they can find a job in their specialty.
also high unemployment in Russia is observed in the majority of single-industry towns.Although it is worth noting that last year the situation in such facilities has improved somewhat.However, it should be clarified that progress was possible due to the outflow of labor from other regions in the single-industry towns.And now there is another problem: the desolation of cities, the destruction of the core enterprises, the decline of production and reduced competitiveness.
Serious problems
most serious problem is youth.Among the graduates celebrated a huge unemployment.According to the Federal State Statistics Service, in Russia the average among young people 15 to 24 years old in March 2012, unemployment reached 16.8%, particularly among the rural population - 23.5%, urban - 14.0%.Unemployment among young people in Russia is 3.2 times higher than adult unemployment.The problem is that employers do not much want to hire graduates without work experience.Also today, nearly 90% of school leavers go to university due to an unfavorable image of the various technical specialties.A country's economy can not employ a number of young people with higher education.Therein lies the particular unemployment in Russia among the younger generation.If in Soviet times, one university had ten at vari- ous, now - about two.
The fix is to change the relationship to the real masters of their craft, whether it be an economist, pastry chef or mechanic repair machinery.The main problem is not a lack of jobs and the lack of good professionals, especially technical specialties.After all, as a rule, attend technical schools go only if nowhere else can not do.Thus, on the one hand, Russia's overall unemployment rate is acceptable, and on the other - there are very serious problems, which are not observed in the countries of Europe.And to solve these problems in the short term is not possible.
