Economist criticized idea of refusing migrants at Moscow Construction

Economist Alexei Korenev said that for a complete abandonment of migrants, serious financial investments are needed, aimed at an increase in remuneration, the purchase of high-quality equipment, otherwise the interests of the citizens will not succeed. In a conversation with the “ribbon.ru”, he criticized the proposal of the vice-mayor of the capital, adding that it goes against the words of President Vladimir Putin.

Moscow Vice-Mayor on urban planning policies and construction Andrei Bochkarev previously declared the plans of the capital of the capital to abandon the involvement of migrants on construction in the city. According to the vice-mayor, the deficit of labor resources at construction site is at the level of 40 percent. At the moment, no more than 40 thousand migrants work at facilities in the capital, while earlier quantity reached almost 120 thousand. On average, they receive 50-60 thousand rubles, but many are counting on 80 thousand rubles.

no alternative

Korenev reminded that a year ago Putin said that the country could not do without migrants. Moreover, he pointed to the need to develop assimilation programs.

He talked about the fact that migrants should learn the language, come with families to work not to bewitched, but on an ongoing basis, – noted the economist. – Bochkarev also offers a completely opposite. However, while this application is exclusively the nature of good wishes. There were no mechanisms for implementing anything. As an argument, the vice-mayor leads to the example of US workers, Sweden, which are carried away by an expensive tool and show colossal performance. But we have another principle of production, in Russia half of the work it is done with the help of cars and shovels. “

Even if you forget about cars and shovels, the purchase of tools, according to Korenev, will require huge resources. They will also need to increase wages for workers, but Russia, in his opinion, is far from being so rich as Sweden or the United States, so it can not afford it.

“We are not as rich country, so that while all this is nothing more than a beautiful declaration. After all, even if you increase wages, not all Russians will be ready to go to the construction site: Moscow is an office city, and the construction is conjugate with constant heavy physical Labor. So, among other things, the development and competent tools are needed to interest Russians, “Korenev believes.” Nevertheless, I believe that in a further future, the wishes of Bochkareva will come true, but not right now. “

The economist considered the statement of the vice-mayor attempt to please Muscovites, tired of the domain of migrants. However, in his opinion, neither the country, nor the city at the moment there are no resources to implement this sentence.

In September 2021, the Vice Mayor of the city on issues of economic policy and property and land relations, Vladimir Efimov, appreciated that at that time about 200 thousand labor migrants were lacking in the capital. Among the negative consequences of the provision, he called the cost of services.
