Russia economic modernization to create new jobs - Mr Medvedev
Sunday, 19 Dec 2010
RIA Novosti citing Mr Dmitry Medvedev President of Russia as saying that Economic modernization in Russia should create more jobs.
He said that "It is generally assumed that any modernization reduces the number of jobs. In our conditions that would be absolutely wrong. Our task is to create new, more modern jobs."
Mr Dmitry said modernization should also aim to raise wages, improve the quality of life and enhance social standards. He said that individuals' real incomes in 2010 will increase by 5% while the number of unemployed will fall by 2 million.
He also said the government had no plans of introducing a longer work week in Russia regardless of the wishes of some of our employers.
Mr Medvedev admitted that Russia could not do without immigrant labor but it must not hurt Russian employees. In order to avoid any harm to the Russian workforce, Mr Medvedev said migrant workers should work in their own niche and their own cluster which Russians do not usually occupy.
He also warned that foreign labor must not be used illegally as slave labor
