Russia's Job Market Booms for Seniors in 2025
The job market for older workers in Russia has seen a significant boost this year. Job offers for seniors have surged by 75%, with over 2.5 million opportunities sent out since the start of 2025. Resumes from job seekers aged 55 and above have also increased by 33%, totalling over 413,000 in the first eight months.
The rise in job offers and resumes is largely attributed to the ongoing pension reform and the gradual increase in the retirement age. Interestingly, every fifth resume from retirees is for 'white-collar' jobs, with this category seeing a 22% increase to 229,000. Meanwhile, blue-collar job resumes from retirees have risen by 40% to 123,000.
Women aged 55 and above have received the most job offers, with 1.7 million (+79%), followed by men aged 60 and above with 810,000 (+68%). Despite their experience, older job seekers have more modest salary expectations, averaging around 65,800 rubles, which is 9,200 rubles less than the average expectations of all candidates.
The increase in job opportunities and resumes from older job seekers signals a positive shift in the Russian job market. As the retirement age gradually increases, more seniors are choosing to remain in the workforce, contributing their skills and experience. This trend is expected to continue, with no clear signs of a retirement age increase scheduled for the near future.
