The emergence of this concept was caused by the development of production, by formation of the economy and the use of human labor, which is an integral part of economic potential of the region. The employment potential is characterized by quantitative and qualitative sides. One сcomponent of the quantitative side is population which is one of the less numerous in Ukraine. However, over the last decade its population increased slightly, in contrast to most other regions of Ukraine. Qualitatively employment potential is sufficient but the increasing number of schools of higher education III-IV accreditation levels due to commercialization leads to excess levels of educational professionals.Volyn region belongs to the first type from the five regional labor markets that are selected in Ukraine. Its features are well-defined labor depression in both the industrial and the agricultural sectors and forming an extreme conditions of reproduction of labor. Volyn region has low activities of labor potential usage. Due to irrational socio-economic policy of the government, it has been largely destroyed.
