Abstract
The paper proposes a methodical approach to the quantitative-qualitative evaluation of labour potential in regions. The authors performed a comparative analysis of the labour potential dynamics in the Russian northern regions over 2002-2010. As our analysis show, the working life span close to the maximal level, employment index and level of professional education of the employed population are key factors of the integral labour potential index for both Russia and the Russian North. However, the GRP per capita indices and capital-labour ratios, which displayed a many times increase over the time between last and previous censuses, make the most significant contribution to positive dynamics of the labour potential index in the context of the economic growth in 2002-2010.
