A large-scale programme for preventing curable diseases, restricting harmful habits which result in a higher death rate, preventive work with regard to early fertility loss – these are some of the measures set down by the government. Others concern the transformation of the system of education so as to be adequate to the modern world and to help keep young and active people in this country from emigrating. “It must meet the requirements of a market of labour which will, very soon, be shaped by AI,” Minister Shalapatova said.
