In Russia, 10 million unemployed, and the official statistics are inaccurate, said the founder of service of the Superjob Alexei Zakharov.
first, the unemployed are not going to register at the labour exchange: many do not see this benefit.
secondly, in his opinion, “due to the isolation, not all companies can issue all the legal procedures for dismissal, bankruptcy, closure of enterprises”. As soon as the quarantine ends and the company will earn, “we immediately see an increase in unemployment. The actual number of unemployed 5-6 times higher. We believe that work already lost about 10 million people. By autumn the figure could rise to 20 million,” — said Zakharov.
According to the labor Ministry, the number of officially registered unemployed Russians reached 2.1 million.
the Actual number of unemployed Russians was 4 times higher than the number of officially registered in employment services of Russians, said the President of the Confederation of labour of Russia (KTR), a member of the Council under the President of Russia on human rights Boris Kravchenko.
the unemployment rate this year may reach values of the crisis in 2009: by the end of the year, the Center for strategic research expects 9 million unemployed. The fact that the private sector faced a loss of income and difficulties in receiving state support. Says Oleg Shibanov, Professor of the Department of Finance of the Russian economic school.
