Abstract

Statistical study of the labor force allows us to solve many issues, both for the state and for enterprises of different levels by means of methodological and theoretical foundations in the field of labor force study. The article reviews the literature and methodological approaches characterizing the labor force in Russia. The authors consider information and methodological bases of the study, as well as the problems of studying the labor force in Russia. Based on the compiled information base, a system of indicators has been compiled for further research. The article analyzes the direction and speed of change in the total number of workers in the period from 2010 to 2020, both in Russia as a whole and in the context of federal districts. The territories that underwent the most significant transformations during the study period are identified. The paper considers the constituent elements of the labor force, including employment and unemployment of the population from the perspective of the direction and speed of change and structural transformations. In order to determine the key factors influencing the change in the number of workers, the article implements a correlation analysis. As a result, the dependencies of the seven most significant socio-economic indicators were revealed.
Keywords:
