Abstract

Purpose of the article: The purpose of the study consists in researching the changes occurring in the rural environment and their influence on the skills of labor resources. Methodology: Fundamental scientific methods of knowledge were used in the presented study. An abstract-logical method was used to reveal the theoretical foundations of labor resources. When researching the need to adapt labor resources to the changes produced in the rural environment, their analysis and evaluation, statistical-economic and economic-mathematical methods were used. In order to evaluate the role of labor resources in rural development, monographic and computational-constructive research methods were used. Conclusions: The changes that occur today in various sectors of the economy are also present in agriculture, as the main branch of activity in the rural environment. The transition to new forms of employment, digitization, modernization of the professional training system, the emergence of new professions, new approaches to labor relations cause changes in the development of the rural economy, as well as in the behavior of labor resources.
