An analysis cited by the Russian news site Nakanune showed that job openings tailored to "young applicants"—as young as 14—soared 119% year-over-year in the first quarter. That adds to last year's 289% increase, with openings for young workers rising from 14,500 to 42,000.
Demand is also growing for older workers. Openings for specialists over the age of 55 climbed 65% in the culture and education sectors in the third quarter, while openings in the services sector rose 12%.
The average age of specialists has also climbed by three to six years since 2022, reflecting the adjustments businesses are making to cope with labor shortages.
In 2018, Russia raised the retirement age from 60 to 65 for men and from 55 to 63 for women, allowing for more older workers to contribute to the labor market.
