In Tatarstan, 14-year-olds will be recruited to work at military factories

The Parliament of Tatarstan has prepared a new regional program to "promote youth employment", according to which teenagers 14-18 years old will be allowed to work in factories in their free time, Kommersant writes .

Separate paragraphs in the document indicate “promotion of employment of youth under the age of 35 in agriculture” and “at enterprises of the military-industrial complex.”

Officials are worried that the number of working youth in Tatarstan is declining - due to “a decline in the birth rate in the country in the 90s of the twentieth century” and due to the fact that young people prefer to study rather than work.

Last year, the State Council of the Republic wanted to allow teenagers from 16 years of age to be employed in hazardous and hazardous industries.

Earlier it became known that in the Tatarstan SEZ "Alabuga" underage students of the "Alabuga Polytechnic" are forced to assemble Iranian kamikaze drones , which are used in the war against Ukraine.
