Labour efficiency in Belarus within the framework of achieving sustainable development goals

Summary/Abstract: The labour market in the Republic of Belarus has been recently developing the conditionswhich have witnessed a constant decrease in the number of people employed in the economy dueto the transformation of the population structure. Among the factors that impede the effectivedevelopment of the regions, uneven territorial distribution of labour potential was revealed. It leadsto labour redundancy in some regions and a shortage of personnel in others.The main goal of the study is to investigate the influence of selected factors on labour marketindicators in the Republic of Belarus in 2013–2018. The indicators under research characterise standardof living, unemployment, rationality of personnel policy, employment efficiency, labour productivity andothers. Thus, it is possible to assess the efficiency of labour potential management in the framework ofachieving sustainable development goals. As a research tool, statistical methods were used, including themethod of comparisons, the multivariate index models, correlation and regression analysis.The solution to the problem of territorial inequality in the labour market can be found througha number of measures that are aimed at: stimulating labour mobility of citizens; creation of newattractive jobs in labour-intensive areas; assistance in employment and housing; organization of trainingfor the unemployed in professions that are in demand on the regional labour market; simplification ofstarting business procedures, etc.To ensure sustainable development in the face of a decrease in the number of employees, as wellas a decrease in the share of workers, this tendency must be correlated with the processes of improvinglabour methods and techniques, modernizing production, introducing new equipment and resourcesaving technologies, automating production processes to ensure increased labour productivity andreduced excess employment.
