Abstract
The purpose of the study consists in researching the changes occurring in the rural environment and their influence
on the skills of labor resources. Fundamental scientific methods of knowledge were used in the presented study. An
abstract-logical method was used to reveal the theoretical foundations of labor resources. When researching the need
to adapt labor resources to the changes produced in the rural environment, their analysis and evaluation, statisticaleconomic and economic-mathematical methods were used. In order to evaluate the role of labor resources in rural
development, monographic and computational-constructive research methods were used. The changes that occur
today in various sectors of the economy are also present in agriculture, as the main branch of activity in the rural
environment. The transition to new forms of employment, digitization, modernization of the professional training
system, the emergence of new professions, new approaches to labor relations cause changes in the development of the
rural economy, as well as in the behavior of labor resources. The work is original in terms of treating contemporary
changes in rural development as a factor disrupting the skills of rural labor resources.
Keywords: labor resources, rural development, agriculture, rural environment.
