The Russian government is exploring the issue of simplified importation of migrants and their mandatory vaccination, the Deputy Prime Minister Marat Husnullin said in an interview with RTVI. Video Posted on YouTube.
“We are now working out the topic so that it is still a simplified version of the delivery and mandatory vaccination,” said Husnullin. He explained that it is very important to support the construction industry, and it will not be able to do without foreign workers.
“We have a low level of labor productivity, and we are forced to use migrants. We will not be able to go to technology in one or two years when we manage without migrants,” said the Deputy Prime Minister.
According to Husnullina, migrants are ready to work at 12 hours at construction sites for 50 thousand rubles per month, and this allows you to seriously reduce the cost of construction. If you refuse migrants, then the consumer, according to the calculations of the Deputy Prime Minister, will have to pay more because the construction will rise in price for at least 12.5 percent.
On June 3, the Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Up Irek Faizullin clarified that the problem with the entry of migrants to work on Russian construction projects is planned to be solved in the coming months to “not lose the summer season.” With the shortage of labor, Russia faced against a pandemic background. Only in Moscow, according to the calculations of the authorities, the lack of labor migrants is estimated at 300 thousand people, which is particularly acutely affected by construction.
