Against the backdrop of a personnel shortage and the impact of partial mobilization, the Russian labor market is faced with a serious structural imbalance. The head of the commission for the development of women's entrepreneurship of the Moscow city branch of "Support of Russia" Zulia Loikova spoke about this problem. Her words are quoted by Moscow Speaks.

The massive outflow of men to the front, the analyst explained, led to a situation in which the structure of labor supply no longer corresponded to the demand of employers. This happened, among other things, taking into account demographic difficulties, the expert explained.

The above factors overlapped with record low unemployment, Loikova noted. In this situation, there is almost no free labor left in Russia; almost all personnel reserves have now been used. “Despite the fact that we have low unemployment, there is no one to work. We have a structural imbalance in the labor market,” Loikova stated.
