Abstract

In 2019, the rate of decline in the workforce soared: in Q1, it shrank by nearly 0.8m on the corresponding quarter of the previous year, while over the entire year 2018, that index had declined by only 0.1m. As a result, the number of individuals involved in economic activities (without taking into account the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol) returned to its 2005 level.

Keywords: Russian economy, workforce
