THE NEED AND POSSIBILITIES OF INSTITUTIONAL REGULATION OF THE PROCESSES OF REPRODUCTION OF HUMAN RESOURCES IN THE CONDITIONS OF TERRITORIAL DECENTRALIZATION

Abstract

Introduction

Since the beginning of the 90s of the 20th century, a deterioration of the demographic situation has been observed in Ukraine. The permanent natural reduction in the number of people, the consequences of the pandemic, the mass displacement of the population as a result of Russian aggression led to a decrease in the population's employment, an increase in unemployment, a decrease in the standard of living, and an increase in inflationary processes. The mentioned processes actualized the problem of reproduction of human resources, which requires the implementation of measures to stop the processes of decreasing birth rates and increasing mortality rates, especially in rural territorial communities. The reform of the administrative system, carried out since 2015 through territorial decentralization, allows the processes of reproduction of human resources to be analyzed at the micro level, to investigate the trends of natural, mechanical and economic movement of the villagers, to assess the modern capabilities of local self-government bodies to prevent the development of negative processes in the reproduction of an economically active population.

The purpose of the article. To investigate the role of territorial decentralization in overcoming crisis phenomena in the reproduction of human resources of Ukraine and to highlight the possibilities of local self-government bodies in preventing the processes of depopulation of the population on the example of rural territorial communities.

Research methods: statistical, sociological, grapho-analytical, comparative, method of analysis and synthesis.

Research results: Assessment of the demographic situation in the villages of territorial communities. Determining the trends of natural and mechanical movement of the rural population, establishing the main problems of the formation of human resources, employment of the rural population, as well as the peculiarities of the formation of the modern labor market in the conditions of Russian aggression and ways to overcome unemployment in rural areas.
