Abstract
The article analyzes the current state of the labor market of Ukraine using various statistical methods, such as descriptive statistics, inferential statistics and exploratory data statistics. It is statistical methods that have allowed us to more deeply identify existing trends and predict the dynamics of key indicators for the future with a sufficient level of adequacy. Some indicators have been studied for 30 years, but the main focus has been on labor market data for the last 5-6 years. Most of the identified trends have become and remain unchanged recently. In particular, when studying the structure of the population by sex and type of place of residence, it was found that most of the population of Ukraine lives in cities. There are almost half as many people living in rural areas. As for employment, in rural areas only a third of the population is employed, in cities also more than 2/3 of the population is recognized as unemployed. Confirming the existing stereotype, the number of women in Ukraine (on average by about 7%) exceeds the male part of the population and this situation has not changed over the past 30 years. Women in Ukraine are slightly more than 53%, while men make up 46% of country's permanent population. The most numerous are Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk regions and Kyiv. The least residents are in Chernivtsi and Kirovohrad regions. When studying the age of labor resources distinguish between average and median age. If the mean age of the population is the weighted arithmetic mean, calculated as a result of dividing the total number of man-years (at each age) by the total permanent population, the median age is the age that divides the population into two levels by size: one – the median age, the second – older. In general, it was found that the median age is slightly lower than the average and is 41,4 years in Ukraine. In a study of differences in mean and median age by sex, it was found that in both cases in men it is 1–3 years lower than in women. People live the longest in Chernihiv, Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the least long-lived in Zakarpattia, Rivne and Volyn. The identified trends should be of interest and taken into account by potential employers when planning the development of their business.
