Ingushetia and Dagestan lead in the scale of informal employment

According to Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov, approximately 5 million Russians will be involved in the informal economy by 2025. He noted that the situation is most severe in the North Caucasus regions, particularly Ingushetia and Dagestan, as well as Tyva and Kalmykia.

Kotyakov emphasized that the problem of informal employment extends beyond the labor market and concerns broader issues. He recalled government support measures that help people find work and support themselves.

The minister also raised the question of whether it is fair for taxpayers to support those who refuse employment and prefer to rely on social benefits. Russia has already introduced a minimum income level of four minimum wages per year for recipients of the unified social security benefit who do not have a valid reason for being unemployed.
