October 9, Pozirk.<\/em> <\/strong>The Belarusian State Employment Service has stopped publishing data on the number of job openings available to foreign nationals on its website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, only a list of job openings is available online, but the total number is not specified. Pozirk<\/em> regularly reported on the number of such job openings, with a rising trend observed over the past few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foreigners are offered jobs in construction, agriculture and health care, along with some management positions. Translators and drivers are also reportedly in demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government plans to attract at least 50,000 foreign workers to Belarus by 2030, according to a report released in December 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up to 500,000 people left Belarus after the disputed 2020 presidential election and the crackdown that followed, experts from the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe estimated. Labor shortages caused by emigration persist due to ongoing reprisals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four months ago, Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka said he had invited migrant workers from Uzbekistan to come to Belarus with their families. He made the statement after talks in Minsk with Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. The move is intended to address severe labor shortages in the country. \u201cWe cannot get by without hiring workers from outside,\u201d the Belarusian ruler argued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 5,000 Uzbek workers were expected to arrive in Belarus\u2019 Viciebsk region to take jobs in agriculture, construction, industry and the services sector, with some also set to work as nurses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u0141uka\u0161enka turned to Uzbekistan after a similar effort to recruit workers from Pakistan had failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
