The Role of Planning in the Spatial Development of Employment and Regulation of Intrastate Labor Migration

This article is devoted to the study of the Soviet experience of using planned forms of attracting labor force to the branches of the national economy and economic regions of the RSFSR, the possibilities of its use in market economy conditions, which is certainly relevant at present. The paper examines the main forms and methods of organized recruitment and redistribution of labor in Russia's industries and regions in 1961–1963. The research reveals the features of organized recruitment and resettlement to the regions of Siberia and the Far East to meet the increased need for labor force of the giants of the industrial industry under construction. The results of the study also included the definition of socio-demographic, professional and qualification characteristics of those who applied to employment services for employment. We give an analysis of the reasons for the dismissal of employees at their own request. These indicators are considered in the context of economic regions. We study the practice of applying the system of benefits for workers and their families sent by organized recruitment and resettlement to the eastern regions of the country. The novelty of our work lies in the use of archival data from sample surveys of migrant employment during the planned economy period. We substantiate the conclusions and proposals for a wider use of organized forms of migration in a modern market economy, taking into account the fact that the emerging labor shortage is of a long-term nature.
