Employment structure by economic activity and the dynamics of its changes

A real reflection of structural changes occurring in the economy, is the structure of employment, which responds to any changes in the socio-economic development and gives an indication of whether this economic system is in a crisis phase, or it is accompanied by sustained economic growth, accompanied by a growth in the number employed. Therefore, in the present conditions of the employment structure analysis is scientific and practical interest. This article describes the methodological approaches to the assessment of structural changes in employment, based on the analysis of the mass of a structural shift, which allowed to spread the amount of structural change in each activity into two components: an internal shift due to a change in this type of activity in the labor force with conditional constancy employed in other activities, and an external shift that characterizes the change in the share of total activity in the structure of employment due to the change in labor force population engaged in other activities. As a summary measure of structural changes in employment the author proposes to use the index Ryabtsev, the advantage of which is its value regardless of the number of gradations of structure that does not lead to an overestimation of structural changes, as well as the available assessment measures are significant differences scale structures. APPROVALS proposed method possible to identify the activities that make the maximum contribution to a structural change in both employment and the economy as a whole.
