More than 50 billion rubles ($763 million) in subsidies will be transferred to Russian regions this year to solve labor market problems.
"For the implementation of additional measures to support the labor market in 2015, the regions will receive more than 50 billion rubles from the federal budget. I signed a resolution that establishes the procedure and conditions for distributing this money among entities in Russia," said Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev at meeting with the vice presidents of the government.
According to Medvedev, the regions should organize advanced professional training and internships for employees of industrial enterprises at risk.
"In complex conditions, it is important to support those who find it difficult to find a job even in times without a crisis. I am thinking of young people without work experience in the profession and the disabled. We will help young people by giving employers grants to create jobs. As for people with disabilities, it's about preserving the jobs where they already work," said the Russian prime minister.
He also pointed out that, depending on the possibility, it is necessary to open new jobs on a non-profit basis suitable for the disabled, for example in municipal administrative bodies or organizations dealing with social issues.
