Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of interregional differentiation of labor productivity. International comparisons of the level of labor productivity per one employed in the economy have been carried out. Distinctive criteria for determining and statistical accounting of high-performance workplaces in Belarus and Russia have been identified. A methodological approach to assessing the conformity of available workplaces to a high-productivity level in the regions in the medium and high-tech sector of Belarus is proposed. The regions of Belarus with a lower level of labor productivity in comparison with the national average are identified. A positive relationship between the availability of high-performance workplaces and gross regional product is confirmed. The industry distribution of high-performance workplaces in Russia is presented. A high level of interregional differentiation of labor productivity in Russia compared with Belarus was identified. Comprehensive measures have been worked out to stimulate the growth of labor productivity and the creation of high-performance workplaces in the regions of Belarus and Russia.
