PROBLEMS OF LABOR POTENTIAL FORMATION IN UKRAINE UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF TERRITORIAL DECENTRALIZATION

In the article "Problems of labor potential formation in Ukraine under the conditions of territorial decentralization" the modern tendency of quantitative representation formation of labor potential is considered. The article also deals with the economically active population and the number of people employed under the conditions of prolonged depopulation of the population and the growing ranks of the population migration outside the state. The peculiarity of these processes is that they take place in the context of territorial decentralization. It means the administrative-territorial structure reforming and the formation of united territorial communities. The article examines the regional differences in the process of united territorial communities formation. Some recommendations have been made regarding the consideration of human resources, migration of the population and justification of the capacity of the united territorial communities in terms of land supply for the inhabitants of especially newly formed integrated territorial communities. It is necessary to justify an economic viability of united territorial communities for their successful functioning. At the same time, the primary task is to calculate the existing and prospective population of economically active united territorial communities population, a deep and detailed analysis of the labor market to meet the needs for labor at the expense of own resources of living labor, to assess the possible extent of young age groups migration. We consider it is expedient to set quantitative parameters of future united territorial communities at the state level, that is the optimal size of territories, population, and availability of social infrastructure facilities.
