Remote employment can increase the labor potential in the EEA - expert

October 18, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. Remote employment can increase the potential of labor resources in the Single Economic Space. This opinion was expressed in a conversation with a BELTA correspondent by Marina Ludanik, Candidate of Economic Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Labor Economics and Personnel of the Faculty of Economics of Lomonosov Moscow State University. She is taking part in the international scientific and practical conference "Socio-economic development of organizations and regions of Belarus: sustainability, development, innovation," which is being held today at the Vitebsk State Technological University. The labor markets of Russia and Belarus are undergoing similar processes related to the increase in the number of jobs and the need to create decent working conditions for them, including wages and organizational aspects. "The time has come to consolidate efforts in the labor market within the Single Economic Space, directing them towards new forms of employment. In particular, towards remote employment, which connects workplaces through virtual space and allows for joint action in the labor market," believes Marina Ludanik. According to her, remote employment allows not only to solve the issues of creating attractive working conditions for employees but also to involve risk groups in labor activities - people with disabilities, youth, women, and older people. "Virtual space allows attracting these population categories so that the labor market has a higher potential of labor resources," emphasized the scientist. -0-
