THE ROLE OF MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT IN DETERMINATION OF WORKFORCE VIABILITY
The article concerns assessment of macroeconomic environment influence on probability of Russian population surviving. It presents authors' approach to calculation of probability surviv-ing indicator. As a basis of research, methods of sociological, demographic and comparative analysis as well as econometric modeling were used. Authors assume that used ratio of threshold values 15-72 years of living up to the end of working-age (according to tables of mortality) can be interpreted as ones characterizing the existing level of self-preserving behavior culture proper for the population of the concrete area, republic or a large city of Russia. As a result, the classification of Russian regions having serious differences in the level of self-preserving behavior was offered. The developed differences in the level of self-preserving mindset are the result of the differentiated influence of the macroeco-nomic factors connected with feature of economic development of Russian regions. Results of the econometric analysis have shown that the macroeconomic environment renders both positive and negative influence on health of able-bodied population in regions of Russia. The most important and significant macroeconomic factor improving the level of self-preserving behavior of Russians is the indicator of investments, including demographic investments (in development of jobs for youth, in children's and youth infrastructure, health care, physical culture and mass sport, geriatrics and gerontology). According to the received results, demographic investments exert not only beneficial effect on business climate of the region, but also reduce negative impact on poverty level in the country. Authors have assumed that besides social align-ment investments are capable to render also positive effect on regional inequality, creating there-by prerequisites for successful and sustained economic growth of the country in general. In its turn, it is one of the major terms of improvement of a condition of probability of survival at working-age that can be felt in the medium term.
