Production of Manpower Resources in Socialist Economy

The paper is an attempt to treat the reproduction of manpower resources as a multiphase process occuring within a more general process of reproduction of social productive forces. The reproduction of manpower resources consists of three phases: 1) production of manpower resources being composed of: a) bioäogical reproduction of able-bodied population and b) its social preparation for work; 2) distaibution and redistribution of these resources among different sectors of human activity; 3) their utilization in production of goods and services as well as in process of forming the manpower. The structure of and factors acting in each phase are analysed in following parts of the paper in order to indicate the crucial problems of planning the reproduction of manpower resources. Potential structural imbalances between manpower needs and supply which can emerge on the stage of national plan elaboration and ways to overcome them are considered. Special attention is paid to interdependencies between the reproduction of manpower resources and the reproduction of means of production.Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/201
