WoRKFoRCE PRoDUCTIVITY: EXPERIMENT of socio-economic analysis
The main reasons for the workforce productivity Lagging in Russia compared to the European and American level have been studied in the article. It is the author's opinion that the origins of the low workforce productivity should be sought in the Soviet period. The growth of the workforce productivity at that period was held back by the high share of the hand-labour, its low technological and engineering infrastructure, high level of the workplace injuries and etc. Widespread economic transformation of the 90s had significant influence on all the process in the sphere of labour. The “old” issues of the Soviet period were combined with the new, which resulted in the course of the change of economic model. The author puts an emphasis on the whole complex of the low workforce productivity in order that it all should be considered at national program of the workforce productivity's increase, which is to be presented in May, 2017 at the RF Presidential Council of the strategic planning and priority projects.
