The aim of the research is to identify characteristics, factors and tools to stimulate labor productivity in the regions of Russia under neoindustialization. This issue remains urgent due to peculiarities and spatial unevenness of Russia's social and economic development. The research methods include statistical, comparative and econometric analysis. First, we made a comparative analysis of labor productivity in Russia and countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development from 2011 to 2016. Second, we estimated interregional differentiation of labor productivity in Russia for 2012-2017. Third, we analyzed the factors affecting labor productivity in the regions of Russia. And finally, we identified the key methods to stimulate labor productivity in the Russian regions. The results of the study confirmed a significant lag in labor productivity in Russia from most economically developed countries. However, the country is the leader in labor intensity in 2011-2016. Interregional differentiation of labor productivity in Russia is increasing. The relative number of high-performance jobs to the greatest extent depends on the level of socio-economic development of the region and the sectoral structure of its economy. Therefore, the choice of tools to increase productivity requires a differentiated approach, taking into account the peculiarities of regional development.
The article is devoted to the study of interregional differentiation of labor productivity. International comparisons of the level of labor productivity per one employed in the economy have been carried out. Distinctive criteria for determining and statistical accounting of high-performance workplaces in Belarus and Russia have been identified. A methodological approach to assessing the conformity of available workplaces to a high-productivity level in the regions in the medium and high-tech sector of Belarus is proposed. The regions of Belarus with a lower level of labor productivity in comparison with the national average are identified. A positive relationship between the availability of high-performance workplaces and gross regional product is confirmed. The industry distribution of high-performance workplaces in Russia is presented. A high level of interregional differentiation of labor productivity in Russia compared with Belarus was identified. Comprehensive measures have been worked out to stimulate the growth of labor productivity and the creation of high-performance workplaces in the regions of Belarus and Russia.
The influence of state support on the agrarian sector of the Sverdlovsk region is investigated. Methods of statistical and descriptive analysis were used. The information base of the study was the data of the Ministry of Agroindustrial Complex and Food of the Sverdlovsk Region and the data of the “SPARK-Interfax” information system.
