economy and satisfying the population’s needs for consumer goods, are determined. goods
and services are taken into account.
When assessing the labor potential of a region, attention is paid not only to the size of
the resource, but also to its quality. When we talk about quality, we understand the age of the
workforce, their abilities, gender, grouping by profession, education and a number of other
quality factors. But today, when assessing and studying the category of a region’s labor
potential, there are a number of cases that give rise to debate about the need to accept the
labor resource - the economically active layer of the population - as its organizer.
In our opinion, it is appropriate to take into account the category of labor resources
when assessing the statistics of the region’s labor potential. Because the category of labor
resources includes those of working age, those employed despite the fact that they are older
or younger than working age, as well as permanent sections of the population not employed
in the economy.
It is logical to consider it as part of the labor force, since a decrease in labor resources
and, as a consequence, damage to the economy of the region.
Territorial labor resources and their composition can be explained using Figure 2.3.1.
When analyzing labor resources and the labor market, regional statistical departments
plan to solve a number of scientific, methodological and practical problems:
determining the number of labor resources available in the region, their composition
by industry and sector;
study the state of the region’s labor resources, the economically active population,
the composition, structure and dynamics of the employed and unemployed;
creating a regional balance of labor resources and working time based on indicators
of the systematic use of labor resources;
development of a description of the level and structure of the region’s working
population;
study of the state, intensity, composition and dynamics of unemployment;
give a description of the natural movement and renewal (reproduction) of territorial
labor resources;
identify migration and factors influencing it;
calculation (forecasting) of changes in regional labor resources in the future;
assessment of the state of the regional labor market, its development, supply and
demand, etc.
