STRUCTURAL-DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF HEALTH LEVEL OF WORKING AGE POPULATION: REGIONAL ASPECT

Abstract

Human capital in the modern world is the primary factor in ensuring the progressive development of society. The level of population health is an important part of human capital. It determines the quality of labor resources and labor productivity in the region. The purpose of this work is to study the structure and dynamics of the level of health of the working-age population and identify trends in its development. A numerical analysis of the structure and dynamics of the health status of the population is carried out on the example of the Udmurt Republic, using modern data reflected in the system of state statistical accounting for the period 2000-2019. Calculations have shown that the level of health of the working-age group of the region’s population has been declining in recent decades. The share of healthy people in the region in the 15-72 age group of the population decreased from 59.8% in 2000 to 42.1% in 2019. At the same time, the proportion of people with chronic diseases increased: 33.2% in 2000 and 48.5% in 2019. In general, the share of people with disabilities in the total population of the age group 15-72 years old increased from 7.0% to 9.4%. The trends in the structure and dynamics of the health of the working-age population of the region identified and analyzed in the work indicate a decrease in the rate of positive influence of human capital on the economic dynamics and the labor market. The analysis indicated the emergence of the need to create additional conditions to reduce the level of general morbidity and disability in the region.
