In this video I look at the Population of Russia and uncover the DEMOGRAPHIC Disaster that is getting WORSE, is now impacting on the OIL & GAS INDUSTRY and is causing major problems for the Russian Economy. The EXODUS of people following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, falling birth rate, low retirement age, unemployment and an ageing population are all wreaking havoc on Russia's workforce and the Economy. The situation was already critical before Russia's decision to invade Ukraine but has now been made significantly worse.

Yes, the retirement age is lower in Russia. But the government there pays their pensioners absolute peanuts. The standard pension is 100 dollars a month, minus 50 dollars for rent and heating leaving the average Russian on an unmanageable 50 dollars a month to live on. If your a pensioner living outside Moscow and St. Petersburg you'll get less. Then stop and think how much the county earns in oil and gas and how much the oligarchs have. It's an absolute discrace.

Peter Zeihan points out the inevitable collapse of the Russian energy sector in several of his presentations. Since the war in Ukraine started, members of the "supermajors" have left Russia entirely. They no longer have enough people with enough experience to maintain the industry and everything is running on inertia. Once the failures start, they will cascade and escalate until the majority of it goes offline for the foreseeable future. Russia is also sending the most able bodied members of their labor force into the meatgrinder in Eastern Ukraine to be turned into organic fertilizer. So much sooner rather than later, it's all going away

KZbin uses excuses like political correctness and sensitive topics as an excuse to keep the money they would normally share with creators. They still show commercials on those videos they say are not suitable for advertising, they just don't pay the creators a share of the revenue they collect for it.

[@daniellarson3068]

Very very good post. That practice is sort of,....evil.

[@johnhaller5851]

Those ads may be selling at a discount, or family friendly advertising may pay a premium. We don't really know all of what's going on behind the curtain, and that's part of the problem for creators. They didn't know exactly what content is problematic, and they can't tell if there is an actual monetary reason for being demonetized. On top of that, certain content triggers state-sponsored video reporting, which costs KZbin more to administratively support. If a real person has to intervene, the cost of that person may have removed the entire profitability of the video to KZbin. Again, we just don't know what's really going on inside KZbin. I understand not wanting to reveal the real costs, but relative costs might be possible.

[@socket_error1000]

@@johnhaller5851 ​ Now if that is the case and they are being honest about it in practice then they would be more open about their process with the creators. But instead they have not been and do all they can to keep it from the creators. The only reason for this is to guard their secret and is a clear sign that there is deceit in their practice but also ignorance in them as well. Right now KZbin is telling its creators to eat cake while handing them moldy bread. Eventually a revolution is bound to happen. A few years back German creator JoergSprave tried to get a union started for creators with the help of one of the largest labor organizations in Europe with a goal of forcing KZbin to give them a seat at the table. Unfortunately not enough creators were willing to take part in the effort for the reason you offered, fear of losing the crumbs they are eating. So his effort eventually went away. This is the tyranny of such a powerful single interest business has over its labor. Without another economic source for their creativity, the people who work to feed the KZbin platform, the platform itself has a tyrannical position of monopolizing their skills. Yet the true weakness is in KZbin as without the creators, there is nothing to sell advertising for. I am not a creator, I am just a person that knows a tyrannical empire hiding in the shadow when I see it.

Joe, good report. I guess that AI can't argue with bland statistics but there is one chart you used twice that drew my attention: 'Russia's Blue Collar Workers See Double Digit Salary Increase' points to male dominated careers, that with the exception of engineers, are jobs performed by men and not requiring advanced education. As you have said in previous videos, the collapse of university and technical education in the final years of the Soviet Union has 'dumb-down' the career options for many Russians. Between this shortfall of trained workers and the aging male workforce, the competitiveness of Russian workers cannot keep pace with western countries. Also, this wage increase chart points to three occupations that impact Russia's war time economy. Truck drivers, car body shop specialist, and car mechanics indicate a heavy impact on transportation services and logistics. Vehicle sanctions and Russian highways are a big obstacle in safe transportation. Outside of a few major cities, these services are stretched to the max. In looking at your Russian age pyramid, a large portion of the population fills the retirement ranks with many consumers and few workers. Add to this, health care and pensions take much of the revenue away from state priorities. I looks like a no-win scenario.

You can look online and find so many families back in Russia who are being denied death benefits and other cash incentives by the Russian military. Signing up with the military is like making a deal, you go on to pay the ultimate sacrifice, and the military just quietly disposes of you on their databases as an active soldier.

Thanks, really good work. Loved those comparison graphs.

[@philjameson292]

Average life expectancies for Russian men and women have been decreasing the last few years Average life expectancy for men is 65, so they don't have to pay pensions for long but there isn't much scope for increasing the male retirement age Women for another 20 years following retirement so their retirement age could be increased

Joe, the U.S. unemployment rate is only based on people looking, not all those who gave up and those on SSI, disability. The number is almost double of what is posted.

[@cmtwgrdk2748]

AI, as implemented by KZbin, stands for Artificial Idiocy.

[@ahar1401]

Russia is probably the only country with a legit "workforce shortage". countries like the United States never had a shortage, and any shortage here in the US was self imposed by companies refusing to hire anyone applying for employment (yes, throwing away applications is a common practice in the US. not to mention the legal discrimination against applicants done behind doors, since it's only illegal if they tell the applicant they can't hire them because of race, veteran status, etc. but it's completely legal to not hire them for these reasons without telling them).

[@alunjones2550]

When KZbin withhold add revenue, do they withhold the advertising or do they simply keep all the add revenue for themselves?????? War has had an impact on the declining male population in Russia but, I think Vodka has had as much impact historically.

Putin tried to restructure retirement and it didn't go well

[@jojor9766]

Great program as usual. While the high wage jobs you listed seem to be primarily in the transportation sector, I think they may actually be military jobs. At the start of the war Russia suffered terribly in logistics. At one point the entire front seized up from supply issues. It was then that Russia gave up trying to take Kyiv and retreated from most of the northern oblasts. Also, the need to refurbish decades old tanks from the boneyard no doubt takes lots of man hours from people familiar with vehicles. The electrical systems on such vehicles no doubt need a good going over as well. One really interesting video I have seen shows that the labor situation is dire indeed. A video of a meeting of the Federation Council was leaked. This is roughly equivalent to the U.S. Senate. In it a councilor was complaining to the Minister of Internal Affairs about the high rate of street crime. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is basically the ordinary police force. The Minister explained that the reason he could not successfully do his job was that he was suffering large vacancy rates in his ministry. The full complement is just under 1 million employees. He said that he had 152,000 unfilled positions. If the Russian police are running at roughly 15% under strength then you know things are bad, What is a police state without the police?

[@shaneconnor86]

the need for workers in oil and gas storage should be reducing due to the recent increase in the destruction of storage facilities. A step towards a solution could be to surrender, retreat to and stay in ruzzia, cease hostilities permanently including cyber warfare, destabilisation ops and propaganda, pay war reparations, delivery all war crimes suspects for investigation, stop lying, pay your debts - how hard could that be?
