The popularity of part-time jobs has grown in Russia

In Russia, there is an increasing trend towards part-time jobs. Andrey Kladov, an expert on the migration agenda and recruitment, director of the Migrant Service platform, announced this on Friday, April 11.

He noted that, according to recent research, 85% of Russians want to have an additional source of income. And if it was previously perceived as a temporary solution to increase income, it is gradually being transformed into long-term career strategies.

Kladov attributed economic crises to the main reasons for the trend, because of which additional earnings become vital for people. The desire of employees to increase income through the use of temporary solutions also plays an important role.

Another reason is the shortage of staff in companies — part—time jobs help businesses solve personnel problems.

"Some employers are beginning to realize that it is pointless to fight this trend. Instead, they see that it's worth considering integrating flexible schedules, redefining responsibilities, and creating a supportive environment for employees who may be involved in other projects. Transparent communication and cooperation with employees can help to find a balance that satisfies both sides," he said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

According to Kladov, it is necessary to adapt Russian legislation to rapidly changing market conditions. In particular, it is worth reviewing the working time limits for those who combine several jobs, as well as changing the rules on the simultaneous provision of vacations at all places of work, he concluded.

In turn, economist Pavel Shtanov believes that the reasons for the lack of money may be the following: a fixed income level against the background of growing needs; inflation, which reduces purchasing power; loans for which interest must be paid; lack of planning and irrational spending. 360.ru .

Financial literacy rates have also increased significantly

On January 10, it was reported that about 43% of respondents believe that financial goals should be discussed regularly or at least once every few months. This was discussed in a study by VTB Bank. More than half of Russians (51%) set a goal to create a safety cushion for their family. About a third of the respondents (34%) plan to save up to buy a home, and the main financial goal for 28% of respondents is to ensure a decent old age. In addition, a quarter of Russians (25%) seek to save up for their children's education, while 8% want to buy housing for them.
