Structure and Use of Labour Resources in the Kaliningrad Region

Abstract

Labour resources of the Kaliningrad region are being raised in conditions of decreased reproduction against a significant influx of migrants from other Russian regions and the CIS countries. Involvement of labour resources is high, unemployment is low, though the latter slightly increased in the mid-2015 compared to 2014. Since 1990, the labour forces employed in the services sector have been redistributed between types of economic activities. Economic development strategy should be based on the growth of labour productivity and inter-sectoral reallocation of jobs rather than the increase in the number of jobs.
