Village-Forming Enterprise Liquidation as a Factor Of Depressiveness of Non-Diversified Rural Areas in Perm Krai

The article suggests introducing a scientific term «village-forming agricul­tural enterprise)) as applied to agricultural organizations located in non-diver­sified rural areas. We carried out an analysis of statistical data characterizing the dynamics of social and economic development of rural municipal districts of Perm Krai in comparison with the average regional level. The analysis has re­vealed that Perm Krai municipal districts where a significant amount of vil­lage-forming agricultural enterprises was eliminated take the lowest places in dynamics ratings for the registered unemployment level, migration population decline, reduction of the working-age people per pensioner, agricultural pro­duction, and budget balancing. We have concluded that the liquidation of vil­lage-forming agricultural enterprises is a prime factor for the degradation of the socioeconomic sphere in rural areas; it aggravates their depression. To in­crease the attractiveness of rural labor and preserve human capital in agricul­tural production, we propose to abolish the tax on individual agricultural pro­ducers. The article proves the necessity to develop a mechanism that would transfer abandonedfields and timberland ofagricultural designation into forest reserve lands. In order to increase employment and reduce unemployment, it is necessary to organize a publicly funded community service that would take care of forests in these areas. To provide opportunities for labor mobility for the peo­ple who find workplaces outside depressed non-diversified rural areas, we pro­pose to improve the organization of intra-settlement pubtic transport. To in­crease employment, we suggest supporting the development of non-standard employment forms.
