Concretization of "Human Resources" Concept in the Context of Socio-Digital Environment Formation

Abstract

Under modern economic conditions, the concept of «labor resource» can be considered today as the main economic category describing the labor characteristics of the population. Singled out from the other concepts considered in labor economics, labor resource can be used to describe labor characteristics of a person (a group of people and population) engaged or ready to be engaged in productive labor in the process of social reproduction. To do this, he must use not only his health and natural psychophysical qualities, but also knowledge, qualifications and experience acquired in the course of his education and work. Personal qualities are also important. Under conditions of the economy digitalization and the impact of socio-digital environment, it is customary to require digital technological competence from the workforce in addition. Therefore, when characterizing modern labor resources, one should keep in mind everything that provides the result of labor in its totality in the form of goods produced, which satisfy the needs of the person himself and ensures his further improvement and development.
