Analysis of the relationship between manpower employment and sustainable regional development strategy

By introducing sustainable development indicators by the United Nations, in addition to the importance of quantitative economic variables, emphasis was placed on the qualitative aspects of human life such as education and employment, and it was argued that the strengthening and development of abilities, skills And human capabilities reduce the risk of unemployment and, as a result, the socioeconomic situation moves towards sustainable development. The main objective of present study is to investigate the proportionate and disproportionate growth rate of employment in Lorestan province of Iran during the period of 2001-2011, compared to the rest of the county (Reference Sector) at national level, using Shift-Share and Location Quotient models. The measured Location Quotient (LQ) coefficients, show that from the viewpoint of employment rate and its share in different economic sectors, the agricultural sector still remains to be a basic and fundamental sector compared to other sectors of industry and services, towards achieving sustainable development objectives in Lorestan. It is necessary to activate a significant amount of demand for employment in the province by activating regional capabilities and implementing development programs tailored to business conditions. At the same time, the skill-oriented training system of the labor force supply side should also be regulated according to the labour demand market.
