Abstract

The task of achieving a vigorous intensification of the economy and thereby raising the efficiency of social production, which is being tackled today in the Soviet Union and other socialist countries, has focused universal attention on the problem of manpower resources. On the one hand, it is this problem that has in a large measure emphasised the urgent necessity of putting the national economy on a predominantly intensive path of development. The rate of employment of the population had already reached an optimal level by the late 1960s. In 1967, the proportion of the population engaged in social production, including full-time students of working age, was 89 per cent of the total able-bodied population, as against 66 per cent in 1940.1
