Veterans are offered a social contract for entrepreneurs
Potential entrepreneurs from among the participants in the special military operation (SV) would like to engage in projects in the areas of agriculture, retail and auto business. Such data on a round table in the State Duma was led by the head of the Department of retraining and employment of the Defender of the Fatherland Foundation Olga Tatarenko. They promise to legislatively ensure support for novice businessmen from among veterans in the Duma and the government.
Over 11 thousand veterans (2.3 thousand of them – with disabilities) turned to the employment of the defenders of the Fatherland Foundation, Olga Tatarenko said on a round table in the State Duma on “Development of Entrepreneurship among Veterans of his own and members of their families”. 68% of them were employed (including 56% of disabled people), she said, but the fund can not “please large numbers” for veterans-entrepreneurs: only about 1.7% of the “accompaniment fighters” are engaged in business.
However, interest in the development of your own business is growing. About 3 thousand people are ready to try yourself in business, according to the fund survey. Most would like to develop projects in agriculture (40%), retail trade (15%) and auto business (6%). The organization has already launched training projects in conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture (successful graduates, the department promises grants up to 7 million rubles) and a subsidiary of a large Russian automaker (a program for entrepreneurship in the field of cargo transportation).
The government, meanwhile, responded to Sounding Earlier in the State Duma, proposals for the introduction of a separate category of a social contract for entrepreneurs – veterans of SV.
According to the representative of the Ministry of Labor Andrei Galkin, who participated in the round table, the corresponding bill is undergoing interagency coordinations. The decision on the subsidy, if these short stories will come true, will be made without assessing the average per capita income – “this fundamental decision will significantly expand the possibility of obtaining a social contract,” Mr. Galkin emphasized.
The State Duma intends to carry out other decisions immediately. According to the chairman of the Duma committee on small and medium -sized businesses Alexander Demin (“New People”), entrepreneurship should become for participants his “opportunity for implementation in civilian life”. The fighters, risking their lives, receive a “certain profitability”, said the vice speaker of the Duma Sholban Kara-ool (“United Russia”), but when “this is not” and “a certain decrease in the capabilities of the family,” the situation will become a “test for us”. “It is important to find mutually acceptable options so that we provide a decent salary, income for the families of our military personnel,” the unineruss emphasized, promising “to fix” the decisions on “land issues, bureaucracy and licenses”.
Veteran of Svo, consultant of the Minister of Culture of the Vologda Oblast, Alexei Maltsev, said that 60–70% of the returning fighters were officially employed in his region.
“Those who occupy an active life position are employed and work. Moreover, 40% entered a new place of work, trained and work in new specialties, ”he informed. A social contract followed from his words, potential businessmen are really in demand. For example, veterans-warriors began projects in woodworking, furniture, repair, construction, blacksmithing and car care, “there is even an attempt to organize car sharing,” Mr. Maltsev listed. The current measures, however, are “still not enough,” he believes. In this regard, Alexei Maltsev proposed strengthening regional subsidies on a social contract (in Vologda it is about 200 thousand rubles) similar to payments from the federal budget, to provide the maximum amount of benefits for unemployed participants in their own and provide “conventions for employers” who are hired by fighters.
