Problems of Poverty and Motivation of Workers to Labour in the Field of Agriculture as Effects of Stagnant Economy

Abstract

The aim of the present article is to reveal the consequences of the stagnant economy in Russia. The key problems here are: the high level of taxation, the presence of complex bureaucratic procedures, corruption, the underdevelopment of the regulatory and legal mechanism, the existence of a significant proportion of people with unofficial employment and hidden incomes, as well as a high burden on social infrastructure, financed by federal and regional budgets. The paper found that the most low-paid sectors in the country's economy are the following sectors: agriculture, education, health and services. Forced saving on wages was a tool for restraining prices for rising food costs on the one hand, as well as inadequate opportunities for preserving products until the spring, on the other hand, lead to the fact that processors of agricultural raw materials have an excellent opportunity to extract huge profits to their advantage throughout long period of time. The main task at the first stage of development of the economy should be concentrated on the elimination or minimization of poverty, especially in the agrarian sector of the economy (as a backbone of the economy), and then on the development and introduction of innovations and the growth of labor productivity.
