        Lorestan province, despite abundant natural resources, climate variability, water, vast plains, various minerals, abundant and rich human resource and suitable potential of tourism attraction posses a poor status in the country in national level and over the years, has failed to earn a good share of the national economy. The main objective of present study is to investigate the proportionate and disproportionate growth rate of employment in Lorestan province of Iran during the period of 2001-2011, compared to the rest of the county (Reference Sector) at national level, using Shift-Share and Location Quotient models. By measuring Location Quotient (LQ) coefficients, the results show that from the view point of employment rate and its share in different economic sectors, the agricultural sector still remains to be a basic and fundamental sector (LQ=1.81) compared to other sectors of industry (LQ=0.79) and services (LQ=0.85) of Lorestan province, during the period of study. Generally as a policy making result, it is concluded that the path way designed to achieve relative advantages in agricultural sector of Lorestan, proved to be just in the way of relative advantages policy designed for the country. While it could not happen for Lorestan to keep pace with national policy designed for other two sectors of the economy, i.e. industrial and services. Manuscript profile

        The issue of employment and manpower in general has always been one of the main concerns of economic policy makers.Achieving economic development and creating employment in the country requires using all available economic potentials in various sectors.The cooperative sector is no exception to this situation. One-dimensional attitude towards economic sectors causes the sterility of environmental capabilities in resource efficiency. Therefore, it should be noted that economic development in any land depends on efficiency, integration and optimal combination between economic sectors (agriculture, industry and services).In this study, using two models of basic economy and regional economy, shifting the share and using the population and housing census statistics of 2011 and 2016 to investigate the causes of proportional or disproportionate growth of employees in Kermanshah province compared to the whole country and determine the basic economic sectors. In Kermanshah province and determining the share of employment in the cooperative sector in the basic parts of the province has been studied.The results show the disproportionate growth of employees in Kermanshah province compared to the country's employees in the period under review and the model of change analysis of the causes of this disproportion expresses competitive and structural changes as negative. Estimation of the basic economy model also identifies the agricultural and service sectors and the building sub-sector as basic sectors.Changes in share change coefficients over time indicate the rapid and unbalanced growth of the service sector in the province and indicate a decrease in the advantage of the industrial sector and an increase in the advantage of the agricultural sector in attracting employees.
