Abstract
Today, one of the important factors for the development of the Russian territories is availability of quality human capital, which development is constrained by both economic and socio-cultural barriers, i.e. qualitative characteristics of the population, social and cultural factors, working conditions, social and labor relations, etc. In this regard, the article is aimed at analyzing human development in the social and labor sphere through socio-cultural indicators – vocation, unstable employment relations, quality of work life, etc. – on the basis of gender approach.
The scientific significance of the work is generalization of the research results on the development of human and labor potential, identification of common features, gender differences, and factors limiting human development. The obtained results have practical importance in identifying the priority management activities regarding the risks of developing human potential.
The information base of the research is the data of the monitoring the qualitative state of labor potential in the Vologda Oblast and the Rosstat survey data on social and demographic issues and people’s quality of life in the Russian regions.
The study shows that it is professional vocation that is one of the metamotivators and the most significant contributing factors in major fulfillment of quality characteristics of the work force, and that the problem of the underemployed turns out to be a human development limiter with persistent imbalance between the educational services and the labor market needs. The paper proves that the existing signs of unstable labor relations negatively affect the workers’ social well-being and the quality of their working life.
The obtained results are of practical relevance for identifying priority management actions in the area of human development risks. The work has shown that when managing human resources development, it seems necessary to account the distribution of unstable and unsteady social and labor relations as well as the compliance of educational services with the labor market needs.
