Anti-crisis measures let over 4 thousand Tatarstanians find niche in small business

Over 90 thousand people and over 3 thousand entities are included in the Tatarstan-wide anti-crisis employment programme. The data was on Tuesday presented by the Prime Minister of Tatarstan Roustam Minnikhanov at an interregional seminar with the participation of the Pension Fund of Russia Board chairman Anton Drozdov.

“Evidence to the programme’s success is the creation of 73 thousand additional and temporary jobs,” he noted. “Over 4 thousand Tatarstanians have been able to find their niche in small and medium business through participation in a programme on entrepreneurship promotion.”

Tatarstan is currently implementing a programme of housing full repair and is constructing sports and transport facilities for the upcoming Universiade 2013 sports event. All this, the head of government said, helps resolve the issue of creating new jobs.
