Human resources potential as a tool for smoothing regional imbalances in the economical development of a country

Relevance . The relevance of human resource potential research as a key tool for smoothing regional imbalances in the national economy is due to the increasing need to ensure balanced socio-economic development of territories. The deepening of inter-regional differences in the standard of living of the population, access to quality education and employment opportunities creates significant obstacles to the sustainable growth of the national economy as a whole. In this regard, the study of the role of human resources in smoothing regional imbalances and the development of strategies for its development and effective allocation are an important condition for ensuring sustainable and competitive development of the national economy. The purpose of this study was human resource potential as a tool for smoothing regional imbalances in the national economy. Objectives : involve studying the mechanisms of the influence of human resources on the socio-economic development of regions, as well as checking the availability of statistical links between the number of vacancies in the regional labor market and the number of graduates in the region under study. Methodology . In this study, such methods as data systematization, quantitative statistical, analysis and synthesis, theoretical generalization, as well as data visualization methods were used. Results . The main aspects of regional imbalances are highlighted, where one of the main ones is the inefficient allocation of human resources. The correlation and regression analysis revealed the presence of statistical relationships between the number of vacancies in the regional labor market and the number of graduates in the region under study. Conclusions . Based on the conducted research, including the quantitative statistical method, the study established the presence and closeness of statistical relationships between the number of vacancies in the regional labor market and the number of graduates in the region under study. The conclusion that human resources is a tool for smoothing regional disparities is substantiated.
