Dmitry Pishchelnikov, Vice President of “Oporas of Russia”, is predicted for “Gazeta.ru”That in the second half of 2025, the average time of the Russian working day may be reduced to 7 hours 20-25 minutes, less than 7-12 minutes compared to the current time.

Pischelnikov noted that the reduction of working day is related to slow down in the economy, reducing demand and production. Companies face reduced sales, lack of capacity and personnel shortage, despite the need for labor resources.
According to experts, measures are necessary to increase productivity, retrain personnel, tax benefits and simplify the regulations. The reduction of central banks, subsidies and infrastructure projects to stimulate investment is also very important.
Earlier, it was known that in Russia, only one -tenths of residents were ready to refuse holidays in all situations if it was determined by the need to return to work.
