ANALYSIS OF THE MODERN RUSSIAN LABOR MARKET TRENDS IN THE MANUFACTURING SEGMENT OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

In accordance with the approved concept of Russia's technological development for the period up to 2030, in order to achieve the goals of high-tech sectors of the economy, a sufficient number of highly qualified specialists is required. Given that the production of medicines was attributed to the main areas of technological sovereignty, the provision of domestic pharmaceutical enterprises with personnel becomes one of the most important state tasks.

The objective of the study is to analyze the current situation in the Russian pharmaceutical labor market in the manufacturing segment and to determine further prospects for its development for the staffing of domestic enterprises involved in the production of medicines.

Material and methods include recruiting agency reports data, up-to-date announcements for open vacancies of pharmaceutical companies and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Data from websites for applicants on the number of state-funded places in higher educational institutions in the fields of chemical technology and biotechnology. In the course of the work, such methods of analysis as generalization, methods of logical, systemic and comparative analysis were used.

Results and discussion. According to the study, there is a shortage of specialists at the enterprises manufacturing medicines in a number of federal districts of the Russian Federation. An analysis of the distribution of vacancies opened at pharmaceutical enterprises was made, as a result of which a shortage of personnel was revealed in a number of structural divisions, such as the production and commercial departments, as well as the design and development department. The educational programs implemented in a number of Russian universities aimed at training specialists in the field of pharmaceutical production technology were studied, and the need to expand the number of existing budget programs in order to fully meet the needs of the industry in highly qualified personnel was identified.

Conclusion. There is a clear shortage of competent personnel in the domestic pharmaceutical labor market, as evidenced by the large number of open vacancies throughout Russia. The distribution of vacancies by industrial departments allows us to conclude that pharmaceutical enterprises focus on not only the production of medicines, but also on innovative development, their commercial promotion, and the formation of an individual pharmaceutical brand. Specialized universities that train professionals in the field are able to provide the industry with only 45% of personnel, which indicates the need to increase state-funded training places in order to maintain and further increase the momentum of development of the Russian pharmaceutical industry.
