Abstract

The article presents an assessment of the impact of territorial labor mobility on the efficiency of the labor market of the Republic of Belarus. The hypothesis of the existence of such an influence arose on the basis of generalization of the results of foreign studies on this issue. The data of the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus for 2011–2019 were chosen as an empirical base.

The indicators characterizing the efficiency of the labor market are determined, which are somewhat influenced by the territorial mobility of the labor force. Among these indicators, the level of employment in Belarus is determined. It is concluded that with the intensification of migration processes, including international ones, the level of employment of the country's population tends to decrease. However, the study of the relationship between the territorial mobility of the workforce and the number of the employed (from the point of view of types of terrain, types of economic activity, forms of ownership, etc.) showed contradictory results.

The practical significance of the study is expressed by the possibility of applying its results in the process of coordinating and regulating the territorial mobility of the labor force in order to increase the efficiency of the labor market of the Republic of Belarus.
