Nowadays the problems of labour potential development evaluation are urgent for a region as there is a need for rapid response quickly economic situation changing. Evaluation of labour potential of a region (by example of the Komi Republic) is presented in the article. New integral index for evaluation of qualitative characteristics of labour potential is proposed – Life Quality Integral Index. The Index calculation includes larger set of indicators that better characterize the qualitative characteristics of labour potential. As a result of the research dynamics of qualitative characteristics of labour potential of the Komi Republic are determined; these dynamics are also compared to the dynamics of the Index in the Russian Federation. On this base major problems of qualitative characteristics of labour potential of the Komi Republic for its current economic and social development stage are identified, and areas of improvement in this sphere are proposed.
