Labor Productivity in Fuel and Energy Industry of Russia

Abstract

The history of civilization - the history of the invention of new and new methods of energy conversion, development of its new sources and eventually increase of energy consumption. In the modern world, energy is the basis for the development of basic industries that determine the progress of social production. In all industrialized countries, energy development has outpaced other industries. Recent developments in the energy market have shown that with the transition to a market economy, the growth of reserves has really become unable to compensate for the use of fuel, energy and mineral resources. The current situation is therefore subject to threats to economic and defense security, which undoubtedly lead to socio-economic problems. There is no reason to expect that the rate of energy production and consumption will change significantly in the near term (some slowdown in the industrialized countries is offset by an increase in the energy intensity of third world countries) it is therefore important to understand what problems exist in the Russian power system, such as low productivity, and how to solve them. This is the reason for the relevance of this article. The author believes that at the present time the supply of the power industry with a personnel reserve raises questions. Part of the problem is related to the failure of succession between the Soviet and post-Soviet vocational education schools in 1990-2000, which began to resonate a decade later. Many important tasks for economic development require not only financial investment and technical support, but also the availability of professional staff to manage these transformations.
