at developing the labor capital of the region
(investments in the social and educational sphere).
Labor efficiency is an significant indicator for
development of the socio-economic system. The
Decree of Russian Federation’s President of the “On
the Strategy of Economic Security of the Russian
Federation for the period up to 2030” was signed,
according to which, among other things, it should be
ensured to counteract modern challenges to the
country's economic security, and prevent crisis
phenomena in the resource and raw materials,
production, scientific and technological and financial
spheres. Among the statistical indicators, analyzing
the degree of implementation of the Strategy, there is
a category of “labor efficiency”, which is reflected by
the labor productivity index (Caron, Fally and
Markusen, 2020).
The labor productivity is an indicator of the
economic efficiency of labor potential and
technologies (Shumilina and Tsvil, 2019; Jaume,
2021). Labor efficiency is also characterized the
ability to create goods and services and reflects the
level of well-being of the population. At the same
time, high labor efficiency affects the potential of
labor resources, formed for the future (Ketova, 2007;
Ketova, Rusyak and Derendyaeva, 2013).
At present, there is no single coherent theory of
assessment of the labor efficiency. A detailed analysis
of this problem is presented in (Galiullin, Ermakov
and Simonova, 2017; Tavani and Zamparelli, 2021),
where several generalized points of view are
accepted.
In many educational institutions on the economics
of enterprise and labor, in academic dictionaries, the
concept of “labor efficiency” is synonymous of the
“labor productivity”.
According to the International Labor
Organization’s methodology (ILO), labor
productivity is the ratio of gross domestic product
(GDP) to the total number of employees. According
to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development’s methodology (OECD), labor
productivity is defined as the ratio of GDP to hours
worked. The Russian Federal State Statistics Service
calculates the labor productivity at the macro level as
a result of dividing the GDP volume index by the
change in total labor costs.
Another criterion for assessing labor efficiency is
wages. Usually, it is the main source of income for
most citizens. Wages reflect the level of well-being of
the population (Aranzhin, 2019; Heil, 2020).
The issues of reasearching the relationship
between labor productivity and its payment are
considered in many scientific works (Smirnov and
Sannikov, 2008; Jung and Lim, 2020). The growth in
labor productivity must be accompanied by a
proportional increase in wages. It improves economic
efficiency indicators (Park and Rieu, 2020; Da
Silveira and Lima, 2021).
The relationship between labor productivity and
wages differs from region to region and from country
to country. Also, the degree of interconnection of
these indicators differs by the territorial regional
aspect (Drobot, Makarov and Yarikova, 2019;
Varlamova and Larionova, 2020; Laskiene,
Pekarskiene and Kontautiene, 2021). So, generalized
assessment of the level of wages is an objective
characteristic of labor efficiency and allows using it
in the model of socio-economic development of the
regional socio-economic system of the Udmurt
Republic (Ketova, 2013).
The quantitative component of the effective
volume of labor resources is calculated as a result of
solving the problem of modeling and forecasting
demographic dynamics, which is presented in detail
in (Belenky and Ketova, 2006; Rusyak and Ketova,
2008). The constructed forecast functions of the labor
force and the total population of the region are
explicitly introduced into the model of optimal
management of the socio-economic system.
Generalized gross produced product is allocated
for consumption, investments in maintaining and
expanding productive capital and investments i
effective volume of labor resources in the region.
The algorithm for solving the problem is to
estimate trajectories of sustainable economic
development.
The trajectory, along which the socio-economic
system should move to achieve high results of
economic development, is called the trajectory of
balanced sustainable growth. Since the studied socio-
economic system, as a rule, is not initially located on
it, then it must reach this trajectory of sustainable
development. To do this, we construct the trajectory,
called the trajectory of the optimal trajectory of
movement of a specific socio-economic system,
which put this system onto the trajectory of balanced
sustainable growth.
Solving the problem of estimating sustainable
development trajectories of socio-economic systems,
taking into account such an indicator as labor
efficiency, is great practical importance. The solution
of this problem is made on the example of the regional
socio-economic system – the Udmurt Republic (UR).
