Andrey Filatov: A New Workforce for the New Economy: Achieving a Major Improvement in the Quality of Education

Reopening business after the pandemic is a long-term that may cause some difficulties and requires additional efforts for employers. Companies have to look for new ways to protect the employees health, the pandemic also showed the importance of new technologies for business organizing.

The pandemic has sent shockwaves through the global economy, and has delivered a clear message to all nations: there can be no future without international cooperation, digitalization, and high-quality healthcare. It is not enough to possess rich reserves of natural resources — steps also need to be taken to boost investment initiatives and enact positive social change. Today, these aims are beginning to be fulfilled with the introduction of advanced special economic zones and other incentives in the Russian Far East.

This report by the Center for Strategic Research (CSR) assesses the impact of the current geopolitical situation and the structural transformation of Russia’s economy on the country’s labour market.

The publication presents the results of the 2022 joint OECD—WTO Aid for Trade monitoring and evaluation exercise. The authors analyze the latest trends in trade and the factors that have a direct effect on trade flows and global economy.
