According to the National Bank, people who were previously less represented in the labor market are now involved: students, veterans, elderly people and people with disabilities. However, the problem of staff shortages is still relevant.
Mismatches between the supply and demand of skilled labor in the context of economic recovery will lead to a further increase in real wages by 3-4% per year in 2025-2027
At the same time, the increase in demand for employees, as indicated, will gradually reduce the unemployment rate. It is projected that in 2027 it will be 10%.
"However, this process will be restrained due to still significant imbalances in the labor market, including due to war-related changes in the structure of the economy, as well as uneven economic recovery across regions and industries," the document says.
