to Help understand the situation on the labour market and its prospects the correspondent of “Rossiyskaya Gazeta” asked the rector of the Financial Academy under the government of the Russian Federation, Professor, doctor of economic Sciences Alexander Safonov.
Alexander Lvovich, so what we have the most reliable professions that are in demand even in a crisis?
Alexander Safonov: As before, first and foremost, a very sought-after medical professionals. The peak needs of this industry, for example, the doctors is about 125 thousand people, including nurses. It is possible to take note of those who today chooses their future profession.
And the rest have to figure out what to retrain for this specialty is very, very difficult. Leave at least eight years of study at the University. Plus another year of internship. So just take and make the decision – now I want to be a doctor and will not work. At least, it is necessary to decide how these nine years to earn himself and his family to life. Quite a long period of time is needed for training of nurses, to a lesser extent, for nurses.
we Also have always had a query on it people. It’s also food for thought for students. For retraining is also necessary to consider that there is not just need knowledge of traditional programs, but the ability to talk with this technique for “you”. To have special skills. It also requires a good higher education. And, consequently, experience. Of course, the period of preparation here is less. To become a great programmer, if there is initial good mathematical education, only two or three years.
Also, there is always a demand for professionals who are engaged in serious Analytics. But this is not a mass profession. She will not be able to satisfy the millions and hundreds of thousands of people. This kind of specialists are needed not more than ten thousand on the country. And in the labour market the employer will sort out those who are themselves in some way already showed. So just to jump into this profession is impossible neither to young, nor to those who will decide on it to relearn.
And builders? “RG” recently by region – there are a lot of new jobs appeared. In the first three – the builders.
Alexander Safonov: It is, unfortunately, not the number of vacancies, which can make the weather on the labour market. But if we are to implement national projects to the extent that stated, we can expect the creation of a large number of additional jobs associated with the construction professions. It engineers, surveyors, and workers of high qualification. A good welder, by the way, always a price.
as for the other competencies that are demanded in the construction of residential and non-residential premises, there is, unfortunately, often stavkas was done for cheap labor, migrants. It is also necessary to the proper regulation of labor relations, including to combat shadow employment when attract migrants and pay them little money. Otherwise these jobs and will be closed for the Russian citizen. However, to become a sought-after Builder you still need to learn, to gain experience. At least a year or two.
And there is a guarantee that the industry will be all this time actively developed?
Alexander Safonov: I still hope that just a year or two we will see recovery growth.
And definitely will come back from the theme of the necessity of building in Russia of large industrial enterprises. Because the situation of coronavirus has shown the vulnerability of any national economy, if a significant portion of components imported from abroad. Take, for example, the production of those means of individual protection. Most of them we import from China. Though they could themselves produce. Why not doing that? The lack of equipment, materials. All this is traditionally our manufacturers are bought abroad.
But you can not be retrained, and to open the business. There is a special program for beginners. What directions are promising?
Alexander Safonov: Unfortunately, the programs which is connected with creation of own business, trying to sell, after all in most cases is ineffective.
usually offer to create a business through either a private (farmer) economy, or through shops for repair, to provide other household services. But few who consider the economy. Open-the business will help. But is there enough market of consumers of a service that would pay for a new competence of the unemployed? That is the question.
More competition and need to stand not in the pure field open.
Alexander Safonov: In the field – just the tough competition. Agriculture the last time, dramatically rebuilt in the direction of creation of large industrial holdings. And small farms that will open unemployed, to fit into the logical chain of large companies, unfortunately, will not succeed.
on top of everything else in this market is not emptiness, there are many people working who have already accumulated a lot of experience. This also applies to the market of domestic services.
Well, then, how to understand whether to open a business?
Alexander Safonov: If there is no certainty that the economic cycle and your new venture will have at least a three-year horizon, spending money on creating it, pointless topic.
Also need to calculate and employment services that implement the state program on opening business unemployed. There is no confidence? Better to train these people under serious profession, for specific business projects in the region. But here you need to understand that no simple, easy solutions, due to the fact that we’ll all retrain, will not.
