The unemployment rate in Belarus has reached a historic low, according to analysts at the Eurasian Development Bank.
The employment rate in Belarus increased to more than 68% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 67.8% a year earlier. Against this backdrop, the unemployment rate fell to 2.3%.
Increased demand for labor is creating the preconditions for continued wage growth. In March, nominal wages increased by almost 14.5%, which, with inflation at 5.4%, translated into an 8.5% increase in real wages.
