Can. Sci. (Econ.) A.V. Popov expressed his opinion about the results of the Forum:
“It was my first experience of not only delivering a full-fledged report at a foreign conference, but moderating one of its sessions. This is when the first fry was not bound to be a flop. Everything went nearly perfectly. Despite the online format of the event, participants’ reports were informative, and discussions were lively and productive. It was really nice to see the attention of foreign colleagues to the Russian session, which we organized together with the Bashkir Branch of FCTAS RAS. As for my own presentation, I was surprised that the results of the study aroused such interest. The Forum has already come to an end, but the discussions on the future of the labor sphere are still ongoing. I hope this will be a good start point for the organization”.
