Rosstat presents data on the age of the unemployed in Russia
The Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat) has published fresh data on the situation in the Russian labor market. According to the agency's report, in August 2026, specialists analyzed the age structure of citizens who do not have a permanent place of work.
The results of the study showed that a significant portion of the unemployed are young people. Specifically, Russians under the age of 25 make up 29.2% of the total number of citizens looking for work. This indicates that young people face the greatest difficulties in finding employment.
Overall, the average age of unemployed Russians at the end of the summer was 35.8 years. These figures allow experts to better understand current demographic changes and the characteristics of the labor market, as well as to assess which age groups are in need of additional support from the state.
Statistical data help relevant ministries develop programs for retraining and promoting public employment. In the near future, the agencies plan to continue monitoring the situation to assess the dynamics of changes in the labor market during the autumn period.
