DEMOGRAPHIC RISKS OF AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT IN AN INDUSTRIAL REGION (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE KEMEROVO REGION AND KUZBASS)

Human capital’s formation for economic sectors, represented by specialists who meet modern requirements of employers, is the basis for effective development of the state and society. The issue of formation and development of human capital in agriculture is particularly acute due to the territorial binding of agricultural enterprises to rural areas, difficult working conditions and low attractiveness of agricultural professions for young people. The situation in industrial regions is further aggravated by a number of unfavorable factors, including regional industry characteristics, which leads to significant demographic risks for the development of agriculture. Demographic risks of the development of agriculture in an industrial region have been identified using the example of the Kemerovo region – Kuzbass on the basis of statistical data analysis and secondary analysis of scientific literature.
