Abstract:
The article examines the issue of the use of labor resources in the context of land resource management of agrarian enterprises. Such indicators as the number of the population, the share of the rural population, the share of labor resources employed in agricultural production, the share of the able-bodied rural population, the area of agricultural land per person employed in agricultural production, as well as the volume of production of agricultural products per person employed in agricultural production were analyzed. Thus, during 2010-2021, the working capacity ratio of the rural population decreased slightly, from 0.59 to 0.58, which indicates that the labor potential in rural areas is not high enough. The coefficient of utilization of labor resources in 2011 was only 0.22, which indicates that in rural areas only every fourth resident is engaged in labor activities or works outside of agriculture. The load on one able-bodied person is increasing. Both the general level of economic activity of the rural population and the level of economic activity of the able-bodied population are decreasing. The number of people employed in agriculture is decreasing every year. Thus, in 2010, the number of people working in rural areas was 2870.6 thousand, in 2019 - 3010.4 thousand, and in 2021 - only 2692.7 thousand. The level of unemployment in rural areas is much higher than in the city, which is due to the limited number of vacancies and their specific characteristics. However, a significant reduction in the number of people employed in agricultural production did not have a positive effect on the dynamics of labor productivity in general in the country, since the labor force from this industry sector was displaced to personal auxiliary farms where manual labor is used mostly and, therefore, a lower level of the labor productivity is observed. The main trends in the dynamics of indicators of the working capacity ratio of the rural population, the ratio of the use of labor resources, the level of economic activity of the rural population, etc. have been determined. It is established that the level of unemployment in rural areas is significantly higher than in the city, which is due to the limited number of vacancies and their specific characteristics.

Keywords: labor resources, land resources management, working population, labor force, agricultural enterprises.
