Belarusians, unlike the dictator, are hard-working.

Economic blogger and host of the channel @belmarket.by1990 Andrzej Makhovski in an interview to the channel "life-raspberry" commented on the words of officials that "the Belarusian people live well". Makhovsky drew attention to the purchasing power parity.

- It's when your income is considered taking into account what you can buy. According to the purchasing power parity, if we take, say, 15 years ago, the Belarusian salary was about 70% of the Polish one. Now it is 40% of the Polish one. The real standard of living is constantly decreasing.

The blogger notes that earlier propaganda was sharpened to tell how poor people live in Armenia and Moldova, while we live richly.

- Well, the wages in Armenia and Moldova are now higher than in Belarus.

Makhovski believes that the low labor productivity in Belarus is not because people don't work enough, but because the system is inefficient.

- Because when you manage "Amkodor" like this, and you need to employ relatives, children, acquaintances, who won't do anything, but will get a big salary, but someone has to work for them. This is the easiest thing to do, in fact, is to place officials in some warm positions. But everything else too. Because when Lukashenko starts to distribute something, redistribute...

Enterprises simply have no reason to work well, because if they work too well, their profits will be taken away and given to those who work badly.

Plus, of course, there is also technical re-equipment, technologies, which are becoming more and more primitive.

Belarusians are lazy in Lukashenko's mind, because his working week is three days, probably, and he works two hours a day approximately.

Belarusians work more than many of our neighbors. Belarusians are more industrious. It is not for nothing that in other countries, where Belarusians come, they like to hire them for work.
