Regularity of change in labor productivity in the agricultural sector: a regional issue

Labor productivity as an indicator of labor efficiency should be correlated with the human standard of living in order to show how the result of labor can affect the welfare of the population. However, the inconsistency of the proportions between effort and effect helps to reveal the economic problems of the development of the agricultural sector in Irkutsk region. Within the framework of the study, the standard of living of the population in rural areas was described, a dynamic analysis of indicators of labor productivity in the agricultural sector and the standard of living of citizens in the countryside was carried out, the factors of changes in investigated indicator were identified, the correlation between productivity and the standard of living of the population was determined, it was proved that the relationship between wages as the main source of an increase in living standards with labor productivity in the agricultural sector is not effective, just as there is no increase in living standards with an increase in the absolute value of productivity. This helps to see new ways of intensive development of the agro-industrial sector.
