"Foreign workers will mainly have jobs that require professional qualifications, which will account for 96.5 percent of the need for 2020," Golikova said.
MOSCOW, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- The Russian government proposes to allow employers to hire up to 105,000 foreign workers next year, some 27 percent less than this year, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said Friday.
"Foreign workers will mainly have jobs that require professional qualifications, which will account for 96.5 percent of the need for 2020," Golikova said at a meeting of the Trilateral Commission on the Regulation of Social and Labor Relations.
She said the government plans to employ about 30,000 foreign workers in mining, construction and repair works and almost 12,000 in the metalworking and engineering industries, according to an official government transcript of the meeting.
The foreign employees will cover the demand for skilled workers in such projects as the construction of the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia's Far East, the Power of Siberia pipeline and the West Siberian Petrochemical Complex in the city of Tobolsk, Golikova said.
The Russian Trilateral Commission on the Regulation of Social and Labor Relations is a body coordinating issues related to employment, workforce migration and social security, which includes representatives of the government, employers and trade unions. ■
