MOSCOW: (Jul 14) Russia will import up to 1 million workforce by the end of this year to address labour shortage in the country’s highly industrialised areas, a business leader said.
“As far as I know, by the end of the year, 1 million specialists from India will come to Russia, including the Sverdlovsk region. A new Consulate General is opening in Yekaterinburg, which will deal with these issues,” Andrey Besedin, the head of the Ural Chamber of Commerce and Industry, told the RosBusinessConsulting (RBC) news agency.
Besedin said the migration of Indians would fill the shortage of a highly qualified workforce in the Sverdlovsk region. PTI
