ЗАНЯТОСТЬ И БЕЗРАБОТИЦА В СЕЛЬСКОМ ХОЗЯЙСТВЕ СЕВЕРО-КАВКАЗСКОГО ФЕДЕРАЛЬНОГО ОКРУГА

Abstract

Solving the problem of unemployment is a priority for the regions of the North Caucasus, where there is a significant shortage of jobs, which leads to labor migration of the population to other constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Finding solutions to increase the number of jobs is an important task that helps reduce unemployment in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District. The work notes that the leading industry in the North Caucasus in terms of the number of jobs is agriculture, and currently there are significant reserves for growth in both the agricultural sector and processing industries, which are underdeveloped in the region. Agricultural products are mainly sold in unprocessed form, which leads to constant underutilization of existing processing capacities. One of the most obvious ways to develop the agro-industrial complex of the North Caucasus Federal District is to create favorable conditions for attracting large agricultural holdings to the region. Based on the results of the study, conclusions were drawn about the need to develop the processing of our own agricultural raw materials - primarily fruits, berries, meat, and milk. This is especially true in the context of economic sanctions directed against the Russian economy, as a result of which there is a risk of limiting the international supply of a number of food products, accordingly, the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District are able to replace most of them. These measures will not only strengthen the country’s food security, but will also lead to the creation of new jobs in the region, which will have a positive impact on the social situation in the North Caucasus.
