Putin wants to stimulate the Russian economy. However, the shortage of skilled workers remains a persistent problem.
It is estimated that Russia's economy will be short of around 4.8 million workers in 2023. Sanctions also limit Putin's options for solving problems in the Russian labor market and stabilizing the economy. So he could try to increase labor productivity in Russia. But technological advances would initially be a prerequisite for this. Especially when you consider the skilled workers shortage at the time of the war with IS, experts say.. Putin's strategy of sending young people to the front of the front line is also described, as described by the Russian Defense Minister, Sergei Shoigu, as “igigu’s strategy’. The Russian military will be able to grow within three years as a result of this strategy, according to the Defense Minister. The aim was to expand the army from 1.15 million to 1.5 million soldiers by 2026. The number of reservists in Russia has risen to 25 million.
