option for increasing output is to work outside the framework of the standard working day," he says.
But in the case of high physical intensity work, as the number of hours increases, the efficiency of the work decreases and ultimately productivity falls, Safonov points out. "A long period of overtime leads to occupational diseases, burnout. This will negatively affect the overall level of labor productivity in the country," the expert believes.
competences of employees azerbaijan whatsapp number database turned out to be the least popular measure for increasing labor productivity - it was mentioned by 7% of enterprises. The most active attention to this issue is planned to be paid in construction (11% of companies), as well as in the production of investment and consumer goods (5% respectively). At the same time, it is the shortage of qualified personnel that can lead to a slowdown in economic growth and development of the country as a whole, Putin said during his address.
In the situation of personnel shortage, more and more high-tech enterprises are paying attention to students, says Olga Klink, head of the basic center for personnel training of the National Agency for Qualifications Development. And if earlier it was primarily about universities and the search for talented youth, now work in the field of mass professions and interaction with colleges has become more active, she notes.
Why is it difficult to implement technologies?
Russia is lagging behind in the technological modernization of mass production, the level of robotics and labor productivity, and a number of industries are still critically dependent on imports, experts from the Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-Term Forecasting noted in the fall of 2023 as part of a discussion of the Horizon 2040 project. Therefore, the reserve for increasing labor productivity is very large, they argued.
"It should be borne in mind that Russia has enormous potential for growth in labor productivity - approximately 25%. However, rapid growth in productivity may be associated with mass layoffs and a corresponding volume of social problems," said Dmitry Belousov, head of the macroeconomic processes analysis and forecasting department at the Center for Macroeconomic Analysis and Short-Term Forecasting, in his February report.
Because the country is in a "cheap labor trap," businesses lack the motivation to increase automation. Labor is unproductive, underpaid, and replacing it with technology is ineffective, resulting in "we're missing out on year after year," he said. By the end of 2023, real wages in Russia had increased by 7.8% and reached 73.7 thousand rubles. The median wage (half of the jobs have lower wages, half have higher wages) in 2022 (the latest data) was 40.4 thousand rubles. For example, the cost of labor in China is already higher on average than in Russia, economists told RBK last year.
"Only through high levels of labor productivity can we ensure sustainable growth in real wages in the economy," said First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov (statement dated March 14). To improve efficiency, Russian companies are participating in the national project "Labor Productivity," the Ministry of Economic Development told RBK. As part of this national project, experts are helping to restructure internal production logistics, load equipment, and reduce downtime (without any investment). Thanks to building processes based on the "lean manufacturing" principle, more than 4,000 enterprises participating in the national project increased their profits by 318 billion rubles, and the project has reduced the need for labor resources by 130,000 people over six years, the ministry estimates.
The Ministry of Economic Development is working on the issue of creating competence centers to improve the efficiency of individual industries, they reported there. "We propose starting with tourism. In addition, a system of comprehensive support for projects in specific industries or productions that are important for solving urgent problems for the economy is being discussed," the ministry said.
