The Russian Ministry of Labor significantly reduced the list of professions prohibited for women, cutting it by more than four times from 456 to 100 entries. This change reflects evolving workplace conditions due to digitalization and safer working methods, allowing women to enter previously male-dominated fields such as mining and locomotive operation.
