Abstract
A comparative study of new settlement projects revealed a common failure to realize full employment potentials owing to reliance on agriculture alone. The present study proposes a method of increasing employment potentials, using a simulation model of multisectoral projects. The model comprises 18 prototypes, based on different combinations of ecological conditions, number of settlers and level of income. Employment potentials in industry and services are calculated by applying appropriate ‘multiplying-factor’ coefficients to agricultural employment capacity. The results indicate that greater employment potentials are realized in multisectoral projects. Moreover, efficiency of employment generation increases with the increase in the level of planned income and the size of the project, as indicated by greater employment density per unit of cultivated area and lower investment per employment unit.
