US EditionPutin Warned of Russian Demographic Crisis
RUSSIA, JUL 15 – Russia must add nearly 11 million workers by 2030 to replace retirees and fill new jobs amid demographic decline and economic strain, Labor Minister Kotyakov said.
- Russian Labor Minister Anton Kotyakov met President Vladimir Putin on July 14 to discuss a looming demographic crisis threatening Russia’s labor market by 2030.
- Kotyakov warned that 10.9 million people must enter the workforce to replace 10.1 million retirees and fill 800,000 new jobs, with potential shortages worsened if productivity lags.
- The crisis stems from Russia’s long-term decline in birthrates, increased deaths in 2024, the war in Ukraine worsening labor shortages, and restrictive migration policies viewed as security threats.
- Kotyakov said a skilled worker shortage is acute, especially in construction and manufacturing, based on a survey of 260,000 employers, while Putin calls population growth a matter of “ethnic survival.”
- The government plans financial incentives for families and calls for education reforms, but experts say loosening migration restrictions is the only partial remedy to Russia’s persistent labor shortage.
