Abstract
The article presents the author's developments in the field of
agent-based modeling of labor potential reproduction that help build
scenario forecasts of labor potential dynamics and test various options
of management actions, choosing the optimal ones. The model simulates
processes of the formation, distribution and use of labor potential of a
municipal district, taking into account activities of the agents of
three levels: individuals (carriers of labor potential, agents-people),
legal entities (employers, agents-firms), municipal authorities.
Agents-people and agents-firms are present in the model explicitly as
separate types of agents. The starting number of agents-people is
determined at the rate of one person from each ten. ``Firms{''} are
considered in aggregate due to available statistical data: each
corresponds to one type of economic activity. Thirteen agents-firms are
presented as a total. Agents-authorities are present in the model
implicitly and form the functioning environment of agents of other
types. Their behavior is set exogenously. The model is implemented in
the simulation system AnyLogic Professional and tested on the data of
the Velikoustyugsky Municipal District of the Vologda Oblast. The
research information base consists of the materials, provided by the
Territorial Body of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Vologda
Oblast, as well as the database of the questionnaire surveys conducted
by the Vologda Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the
region. The advantages of the proposed approach, which make up its
scientific novelty, include the fact that the model reproduces a current
state and dynamics of labor potential in unity and relationship of its
quantitative and qualitative aspects, simulates basic processes of each
phase of labor potential reproduction, takes into account features of
municipal statistics and authorities' real powers. In addition, to
describe people-agents' labor potential quality, agent-based modeling
uses a concept of qualitative characteristics of the population for the
first time and each agent is endowed with eight basic qualities:
physical and mental health, cognitive and creative potential,
sociability, cultural and moral levels, achievement need. The agents of
the same sex and age are not the same in the model.
