The Impact of Education of Employed Workers on the Economy of Modern Russia

The paper attempts to assess the impact of levels and forms of education of employed workers on the level of per capita production based on econometric methods using Rosstat data. It has been established that in regions with a high level of per capita GRP, the use of labor of workers with higher education and secondary vocational education in programs for training mid-level specialists has a positive effect on the value of GRP. The use of labor of workers with secondary vocational education in programs for training skilled workers and employees with basic general education has a negative effect on the value of GRP. In regions with an average level of per capita GRP, the use of labor of workers with various levels and forms of education does not have a significant effect on the level of per capita GRP. In regions with a low level of per capita GRP, only the use of labor of workers with secondary vocational education in programs for training skilled workers and employees has a significant positive effect on the value of GRP. This can be explained by the fact that the country's economy combines the spread of both industrial and post-industrial technological structures.
