Russian President Vladimir Putin called the demography of one of the most important problems in Russia, including in the field of economics. According to him, there is a serious lack of working arms in the country. This was announced by the head of state at an annual large press conference, whose broadcast on YouTube leads TASS.
“We have 81 with small millions of people at workable age. We must seriously increase [this is the number] by 24, 30,” the head of state stressed.
He indicated that the solution of such a problem is one of the factors of economic growth, and this is without taking into account the geopolitical component, which also significantly depends on demographics. Therefore, he concluded the president, the conservation of the people is not only one of the most important tasks, but also a growth driver.
