“it is Possible to predict wage growth in those areas where there will be higher demand for goods and services. For example, in medicine, not only in the public sector because of the surcharges, but also in private clinics, since after the crisis the demand for medical services will be higher. Growth can expect IT sector, as many companies in a pandemic, moving the state in the online modes, draw conclusions on the feasibility of remote working for many employees. Then they will need to use the services of IT-companies on a regular basis,” said Lyudmila Ivanova-Shvets.
In the short term, according to experts, the expected growth will occur in the fields of pharmaceuticals and services for online delivery, but it will come to naught, together with the gradual exit of citizens from the regime of self-isolation.
“Now, in the midst of a pandemic, there are two clear poles. On one increasing the demand for workers and earnings growth: is pharmaceuticals, retail, online services, including entertainment and learning. We can observe the increase in income for those who work in this field, she said. But sooner or later a pandemic will decline, reduced demand for goods and services in the pharmaceutical and retail delivery, and, therefore, is not expected any significant growth of wages in these areas.”
According to the forecast of Lyudmila Ivanova-Shvets, serious changes expect sphere of education the sphere of online entertainment, and there the rise in wages is possible.
