LABOR SUPPORT FOR THE FUNCTIONING OF THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR THROUGH THE PRISM OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF RURAL AREAS

Keywords: agricultural enterprises, labor supply, agricultural sector, structural changes

Abstract

The article substantiates the strategic role of the agricultural sector in the process of socio-economic development of the country. The principles of sustainable development of agriculture are described. The sequence of estimation of structural changes is offered. The index, speed and intensity of structural changes of labor supply in the process of functioning of agricultural enterprises are calculated. The period during which the greatest structural and formative influence of labor supply on the functioning of agricultural enterprises was carried out is determined. The results of the calculations show the greatest structural and formative impact of labor resources on the functioning of agricultural enterprises in 2014, where the intensity of structural changes became the most important. It is important to note that such an impact was observed only in the field of crop production, while the labor supply of livestock since 2014 has been relatively stable, but low. It is substantiated that the period of spread and aggravation of COVID-19 was marked by a strong negative impact on the socio-economic development of Ukraine, but the enterprises of the agricultural sector in all types of activities continue to operate without special restrictions. It is determined that the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of the European Union is a model example of support for agriculture in the context of sustainable development of the country, in particular rural areas. The directions of the Common Agrarian Policy of Sustainable Development of EU Agriculture are outlined. Today in Ukraine there is a situation when the state can not fully provide the population with guarantees for all social aspects of its quality of life. Therefore, the most active part of society – entrepreneurs must begin to find their own methods of solving socio-economic problems. Nowadays, agribusiness integrates and combines the functional set of all areas of the agricultural sector, which, in turn, provides the basic needs of society in food. In addition to the production of quality products and services, agricultural enterprises are obliged to assume additional obligations to society for the performance of various socially important tasks in the context of sustainable development of rural areas.
