Mastering of the Information and Communication Technologies by Labor Resources of Rural Territories as a New Vector of Their Development in Modern Russia

摘要

The purpose of the work is to determine the possibilities and perspectives of mastering of the information and communication technologies (ICT) by labor resources of rural territories as a new vector of their development in modern Russia. A hypothesis is offered that implemented measures for stimulating the growth of labor efficiency on Russian rural territories provide insufficient effect for creation of highly-efficient jobs. The authors use the methods of regression and correlation analysis for compiling the models of paired linear regression, which reflect the character of connection between indicators, and calculate correlation coefficients that show strength of indicators and statistical significance of regression models. Based on systematized official statistical information of the Federal State Statistics Service (for 2011-2015), the authors study connection between investments and creation of highly-efficient jobs, labor payment (as a stimulus for further development), and labor efficiency in rural territories. The authors also use the method of horizontal and trend analysis for determining the growth rate of the values of these indicators. As a result, a conclusion is made that in the conditions of knowledge economy the key resources that can start self-supporting and innovational development of rural territories are labor and technological resources. A perspective direction of highly-effective use of labor resources of rural territories is implementation of the information and communication technologies (ICT) which allows modernizing agricultural production, which is a basis of rural territories' development, and ensuring higher competitiveness of labor resources. As a result, the authors present their concept of mastering of the ICT by rural territories' labor resources as a new vector of their development in modern Russia.
