600,000 Belarusians work abroad
Nearly 600,000 Belarus nationals are currently outside the country working in foreign lands, Belarus Economy Minister Mikalay Zaychanka told a cabinet meeting on Friday. He stressed that his agency was not aware where exactly the Belarusians were employed. According to Zaychanka, since 2000 Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan have seen a trend of higher pay growth over labor productivity.
"If we could pursue a policy of cutting jobs, we would significantly increase the productivity of labor. Many enterprises in Belarus could reduce the number of jobs," Minister noted, according to Interfax.
