Efficiency of utilising the labour potential of rural areas in Kazakhstan

Abstract

Labour potential is the most important driving force of the currently implemented process of transformation of the agrarian structure and an objective factor of sustainable development of agricultural production. Stabilisation of the economic system should be carried out by increasing the employment rate, increasing the population's income, reducing poverty, and improving demographic indicators, which are the most important elements of the productive potential of the village. The social and labour environment of the village, the formation and development of the labour market, and the effective use of labour potential play an important role in the economic system of the agro-industrial complex. The article's authors study rural areas' labour potential in agricultural enterprise development conditions. The authors also analyse rural territories' labour potential features from different scientific interpretations. They discussed agricultural enterprises' influence on improving labour potential efficiency. The paper presents analytical material characterising the level of development of agricultural enterprises in Kazakhstan and directions of denationalisation of property. The gross agricultural output of the Republic of Kazakhstan has been assessed. In addition, the factors that negatively impact the development of private subsidiary farms in Kazakhstan and the effective development of labour potential in rural areas have been identified. The authors present their model of chain interrelation of agricultural formations and labour potential based on the research. The authors have developed a mechanism for improving the efficiency of labour potential in rural areas.
