Labor resources largely depend on the demand and supply of jobs. Sometimes changes in the industrial orientation of the regions lead to tragedies. Thus, in the coal mining regions, the closure of unprofitable coal mines leaves a huge number of miners out of work and without pay. They are forced to retrain and seek another job or leave for other areas. The perestroika on employment, and consequently, on the level of specialists’ lives, was strongly reflected. The closure of a large number of scientific-production enterprises of the military-industrial complex made scientists and people of rare occupations look for a new job. The so-called “brain drain” began abroad.
3. Do the changes in the structure of the economy have an impact on labor resources? What do you think, what requirements are put forward to labor resources as the economy develops?
In the general case, as the economy develops, more and more skilled workers are required, who are fluent in modern technology and have a broad outlook. In most cases, many specialists in order to meet modern requirements, have to periodically improve their skills.
