Assessment of the Degree of Factors Impact on Employment in Ukraine’s Agriculture

Abstract

Agriculture is an important branch in Ukraine’s economy. The share of agriculture’s GDP in the national economy is more than 10%. The development of agriculture stimulates the development of other sectors in national economy. According to the results of the analysis of the employment dynamics in Ukraine’s agriculture, it was concluded that there was a negative tendency. That is why the aim of the article is to specify the factors of impact on employment in Ukraine’s agriculture and to assess the degree of their influence. To achieve this goal, the different methods were used: system analysis—for determination the factors influencing employment in agriculture; factor analysis, multiple regression analysis, principal components method—for evaluating the impact of various factors on the employment in agriculture of Ukraine. It was found that the most significant social-demographic factors of impact on employment in Ukraine’s agriculture include the total rural population at the age 16–64 and the demand for labor force in agriculture, and the most important economic factor is labor productivity. Determining the factors and measures of their impact on employment will substantiate public policy measures, methods and mechanisms for their implementation to solve employment problems in Ukraine’s agriculture.

Modelling the Common Agricultural Policy Impact over the EU Agricultural and Rural Environment through a Machine Learning Predictive Framework

“…Thus, since the present study targets to assess and, furthermore, improve the impact of CAP on the EU agriculture and rural environment, the main indicators, related to agriculture's technical performance and productivity, as well as the environmental, economic, and social sustainability of the rural communities, were considered. By analysing the scientific literature, different studies applied various data set structure for determining various aspects of social, environmental, and economic dimensions, in relation to the agriculture sector [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41].…”

“…Other authors [36] had focused on analytical frameworks that targeted the identification of possible mechanisms that could be used for monitoring and controlling agriculture employment. These were variables, such as agricultural production, crop production, animal production, employment in agriculture, rural population, labor demand in agriculture, wage in agriculture, agriculture GDP, and the net export of agricultural products were used.…”

Assessment tools for investment attracting factors in rural development

“…In the work of Rakhmatulina, Akhmetshinna and Safiulina the factors that influence the formation of sustainable rates of economic growth and the implementation of a socially oriented strategy are determined [24]. To analyse the development of agricultural territories, factor analysis was used in the study of Patiket al In this work, the authors analysed the factors influencing the development of agriculture in the country [25].…”
