FACTORS OF LABOR POTENTIAL FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT AT AGRO-INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISES

Abstract

The processes of labour potential circulation within the region are described in the article. It is proved that the external for the enterprise demographic, social processes, the state of educational services and health protection of the population are basic components in forming labor potential of the region. According to the data received after having researched the biggest Odessa region enterprises, it is determined that the need of personnel for agriculture for the average perspective (5 years) is over 12,160 people. The greatest labour requirements are observed in large agricultural areas of the region: Shyriaivskyi, Mykolaivskyi, Berezivskyi, Liubashivskyi, Kodymskyi ones. Cluster analysis of providing rural areas of Odessa region with manpower was made. Cluster analysis application for assessing labour supply of agricultural sector management shows its advantage in comparison with traditional methods in which separate indices are brought into comparison. Clusters separation enables a more objective assessment of labour supply level, including skilled personnel, in every separate region or sector, a more grounded approach to identifying advanced and backward regions or sectors, that are of great importance for identifying reserves for increasing labour supply level. Some recommendations on labour potential development at agro-industrial enterprises are grounded. Some directions for the expansion of regional administrations’ authorities, concerning formation of the mechanism of financing from the multi-level budgets, are suggested.
