Opportunities for Growth in Labor Productivity and Output in the EAEU Countries

The events taking place in the world require a significant restructuring of the economic system, the formation of closer socio-economic interactions with Russia’s partners, primarily within the framework of Eurasian associations. The development and deepening of integration ties can contribute to the growth of the economies of allied countries and the expansion of national labor markets, which is especially important in the context of increasing restrictions on the part of labor resources in individual countries. The article examines the main characteristics of the labor markets of the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), highlighting common features and differences. Based on the methodology developed by the authors (using correlation and regression analysis methods), the growth of labor productivity in the long term is assessed for each country of the Union. In accordance with demographic forecast calculations, an assessment is given of the growth in the number of employed people in national labor markets, as well as the possibility of increasing labor migration. As a result of the comparison of the obtained forecast estimates, the possibilities for economic growth of the allied countries are determined.
