ABSTRACT
The paper is devoted to assessing the possibilities of using labor resources in the Russian economy, when considering it as a closed ecosystem. Due to the sanctions, which will significantly limit the possibility of using foreign labor, the issue of rational and economical use of labor resources becomes relevant. The basis for the reproduction of the number of employed is the permanent population of the country. As factors influencing the dynamics of the process, control actions are chosen in the form of employment levels of the population. The processes of aging of the labor force in Russia are predicted as a result of the pension reform due to an increase in the average age of the employed by about one year. The forecast estimate of the economy's additional annual demand for personnel shows, on average, a one-third decrease in the volume of annual demand for personnel. The simulation modeling of the forecast number of the employed population in Russia made it possible to assess the potential volume of labor resources that the country can count on in the future. This will help to make scientifically based management decisions to improve the efficiency of the use of available labor resources. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
