Yesterday it became known that “Belarus and Pakistan agreed to develop a mechanism by which labor migrants will be able to come to our country. Belarus is ready to hire 100-150 thousand Pakistani specialists.”

Probably because it is indecent to speak badly about “foreign specialists” from developing countries. But we don’t have such restrictions, so we will be happy to analyze this, frankly, mistake of the Belarusian authorities.

- Annual decline in the birth rate
- Emigration
- Repressions of 2020, which caused a flow of refugees

- Emigration is connected with dissatisfaction with living conditions. The problem was not solved by Lukashenko, first of all, young people did not see opportunities for themselves, “social lifts” to stay in Belarus.
