I NEW [.ABOR PRODUCTIVITY INDICATORS FOR CURRENT PLAN
Moscow VOPROSY EKONOMIKI in Russian No 3, Mar 82 pp 23-32
' /Article by R. Gav:ilov: "Rates, Factors and New Indicators of' Labor Productivity
Gro~ath" /
/Text/ Labor productivity has always been in the center of attention of the Com-
~ munist Party and the Soviet Government, wllich follow V. I. Lenin's directive to the
effect that "rise in labor productivity forms one of the fundamental tasks, because
without this a final transition to communism is impossible."1 Lenin considered la-
bor productivity growth the key prerequisite for social progress and the main con-
, dition for the victory of socialism. Ba.sic Directions in the Economic and Social
Development of the USSR for 1981-1985 and for the Period Until 1990" state the fol-
- lowing: "To increase the productivity of national labor by 17 to 20 percent and,
. as a result, to obtain no less than 85 to 90 percent of the increase in the nation-
' al income." '
Rates of Growth and Increase
_ The planned rates of growth and increase in labor productivity, volumes of output
and number of workers in key sectors of material producti~n in the USSR for 1981-
1985 are higher as compared with the actual rates during ttie lOth Five-Year Plan
' (see table 1).
Tabor nroductivity in material production during the lOth Five-Year Plan grew less
' than envisaged. This was one of the reasons for the fact that the plannEd increase
- in the national income was not attained. Unfortunately, it was not possible to
Fully avoid the effect of a number of objective and subjective factors hampering
pr~ducrion firowth, that is, movement of mining and fuel sectors to relatively more
inacc~~Gihl.e and expensive deposits of natural raw materials; incomplete loading
of Cixed capital; higher scale of incomplete construction~and so forth. It should
' als~ be noted that many industrial, agricultural, construction and transport enter-
prities did nc~t cope with the planned assignments for an increase in labor productiv-
~ ity ~~wing t~ work time losses, labor turnover, a slow introduction of new methods
of labor organization and a tardy mastering of the plani~ed capacities of new equip-
ment. A number of enterprises permit mismanagement, wastefully use raw materials
and violate the policy of economy and thrift. Obsolete gross indicators, which
� aimed at increased expenditures of ineans o~ production and did not make it possible
' to commenGUrate the results of management with expenditures and resources with suf-
ficient accuracy, were not last among the factors negatively affecting tha level of
labor productivity.
