A quota is a restriction on certain economic indicators

The quota is a multi-faceted concept and quite extensive. This word came to us in the late 19th century, translated from German as "a share (part) in production, foreign trade relations and taxes".

In a narrow sense, the quota is a certain restriction or limit on the quantity of goods of a particular category that are allowed to be imported into the territory of the country. It is advisable to introduce this restriction for saving foreign currency and protecting domestic industry.

In a broad sense, the quota is a share in total production, compulsory insurance of goods produced or insured other than by one whole community of producers. This concept is an integral part of many economic terms. For more detailed coverage of this issue, it is necessary to consider specific options for its use.

First, the quota is a part of every participant in any association engaged in sales or production. The accrual of dividends and interest on shares takes into account this share. Its change can be made only at a meeting of participants and with their general consent.

Secondly, the quota is a part of the share contribution that occurs in different economic situations: from the contribution of a citizen-individual to a mutual investment fund to the contributions of economic entities.

Thirdly, the quota is represented by the amount of tax that is levied in the process of taxation. This definition can involve both legal entities, individuals, and entire groups (business associations).

The foreign trade quota is a set of measures that are aimed at preserving gold reserves, foreign currency and other means of domestic payment. This is a special foreign policy, designed to protect the domestic producer and monitor the preservation of jobs. This is a kind of quantitative indicator that compares imports and exports (these indicators are direct or indirect). At the same time, direct import-export means import into the country, or export of goods from the country. Indirect export-import - import-export of raw materials for the production of goods.

This term can be used as a migration or medical restriction, as well as pollution standards. In other words, this is the restriction of prices imposed on raw materials or currency on the relevant exchanges, and is used as the marginal price of a sale or purchase.

The government of Russia annually establishes quotas for foreign labor. To register work permits for foreign citizens, the employer must collect an extensive package of documents. However, the list of required documents may vary in different territorial units of Russia.

Over the past few years, there has been a decrease in the effective quotas. That is why the employer is obliged to apply for a certain sample a few months before the hiring of foreign citizens in the territorial department of the FMS.

Also, special attention is paid to the list of professions that are preferred in the allocation of quotas. The largest number of foreign workers requires the construction industry, so the maximum quotas are set here. The following in terms of the number of quotas are: workers in the mining industry, drivers of various equipment and drivers.

Today, Russian legislation on the issue of quota approval is more democratic. If earlier foreigners could not move around the country without special permission, today, for example, representatives of creative professions can freely tour the country.
