The presented study determines the prerequisites for accelerating economic growth and improving the quality of socio-economic development by modernizing approaches to the regulation of the labor market and reproduction of labor potential.Aim. The study aims to identify problems in ensuring economic growth in Russia by the workforce and to propose approaches to solving these problems.Tasks. The authors characterize the current rate and prospects of changes in economic growth in Russia; describe the problems of ensuring economic growth from the perspective of a factorial approach (through the example of the labor factor); analyze the causes of labor market imbalance and inefficient provision of workforce for the economy; propose recommendations on improving the process of ensuring economic growth by the workforce at the current stage of development of the Russian economy.Methods. This study applies methods of institutional, structural, and statistical analysis to the processes of economic growth and socio-economic development. A factorial approach to the description of economic growth is used during the analysis of this phenomenon. Its rate is determined by the quantity and quality of (resource) production factors. The labor factor is thoroughly analyzed. The problems of ensuring economic growth in Russia by the workforce are examined from the perspective of the systems approach using methodological techniques of variant and situation analysis.Results. The study substantiates the opinion that the modern Russian economy has stalled in a state of near-zero growth, mostly due to the low efficiency of the implemented socio-economic policy. It is therefore necessary to increase the rate of economic growth. The authors use the factorial approach (through the example of the labor factor) to examine the sufficiency of resourcing of economic growth with production factors. It is shown that, in light of the recent pension reform, workforce in modern Russia is sufficient and even superfluous. The key qualitative problems in the operation of the labor market are comprehensively analyzed, including the structural and quantitative discrepancy between specialist training in the educational system and labor requirements; overeducation of the population (people perform work that requires lower qualification than their actual level of education and/or professional training). This study shows the specificity of these problems and provides recommendations on solving them, which requires revising approaches to the development and implementation of the state economic policy.Conclusions. Russia has the resource capabilities (in terms of workforce) to intensify economic growth and make a breakthrough in socio-economic development. Analysis of the existing problems in this field shows that these issues can be solved. However, this requires a focused, systematic effort spearheaded by the government, which is impossible without improving the implemented state economic policy.

The appeals to minimize state intervention in the Russian economy are counterproductive. However the excessive involvement of the state is fraught with the threat of building nomenclature capitalism. That is the main idea of the series of articles by prominent representatives of Russian economic thought who formulate their position on key elements of the long-term strategy of Russia’s development. The articles deal with such important issues as Russia’s economic policy, transition to knowledge-based economy, basic directions of monetary and structural policies, strengthening of property rights, development of human potential, foreign economic priorities of our state.

The article presents the key results of scenario projections that underpinned the Strategy for long-term low carbon economic development of the Russian Federation to 2050, including analysis of potential Russia’s GHG emission mitigation commitments to 2050 and assessment of relevant costs, benefits, and implications for Russia’s GDP. Low carbon transformation of the Russian economy is presented as a potential driver for economic growth that offers trillions-of-dollars-worth market niches for low carbon products by mid-21st century. Transition to low carbon economic growth is irreversible. Lagging behind in this technological race entails a security risk and technological backwardness hazards.

The problem of the Russian economy’s growth rates is considered in the article in the context of Russia’s backwardness regarding GDP per capita in comparison with the developed countries. The author stresses the urgency of modernization of the real sector of the economy and the recovery of the country’s human capital. For reaching these goals short- or mid-term programs are not sufficient. Economic policy needs a long-term (15-20 years) strategy, otherwise Russia will be condemned to economic inertia and multiplying structural disproportions.

The report considers how the state economic policy contributes to the national economic development in the midterm perspective. It analyzes main current economic problems of the Russian economy, i.e. low effectiveness of the social system, high dependence on export industries and natural resources, high monopolization and underdeveloped free market, as well as barriers that hinder non-recourse-based business development including high tax burden, skilled labor deficit and lack of investment capital. We propose a social-oriented market economy as the Russian economic model to achieve a sustainable economic growth in the long-term perspective. This model is based on people’s prosperity and therefore expanding domestic demand that stimulates the growth of domestic non-resource-based sector which in turn can accelerate annual GDP growth rates to 10-12%. To realize this model "Delovaya Rossiya" proposes a program that consists of a number of directions and key groups of measures covering priority national projects, tax, fiscal, monetary, innovative-industrial, trade and social policies.
