РИНОК ПРАЦІ ТА РИНОК ОСВІТНІХ ПОСЛУГ В УКРАЇНІ В УМОВАХ ВІЙНИ ТА ПОВОЄННОГО ВІДНОВЛЕННЯ: ПРАВОВЕ ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ УСУНЕННЯ ДИСБАЛАНСУ

Abstract

Several issues caused by disparities between the labor market and the market for educational services in Ukraine have been investigated. Some scientifically substantiated ways to eliminate the professional-qualification imbalance in the labor market have been proposed. Suggestions have been prepared for improving the current legislation in the researched sphere, taking into account the prospects of post-war recovery. In particular, measures have been proposed to prepare a substantively detailed mid-term forecast of the demand for specialists and labor force in the labor market, including information on expected labor market demands for specific professional job titles. Additionally, it has been suggested to ensure annual publication of the mid-term forecast for the demand of specialists and labor force in the labor market. The expediency of amending Article 22, Part 3 of the Law of Ukraine “On the Basic Principles of Youth Policy” has been substantiated, providing that the state guarantee for job placement in the field of expertise for a period of not less than three years applies to young professionals – graduates of vocational (vocational-technical), advanced vocational and higher education institutions, regardless of ownership form, the demand for which was determined by the state and/or regional order. Attention is drawn to the inadmissibility of the state's retreat from guarantees of employment for graduates of vocational (vocational-technical) education institutions, which may create additional demotivating factors and complicate the situation in the labor market, especially during the period of post-war recovery of the Ukrainian economy. The expediency of using direct and indirect means of state regulation separately or simultaneously has been argued, such as reducing the licensed volume of preparation of excess specialists, or paying taxes for excess training of certain specialties by citizens who have chosen them for preparation, which are excessive for the domestic labor market.
