Abstract

The labor market is an important object of social and general economic policy of the state, it is there that the mechanism is implemented to ensure the coordination of prices and working conditions between employers and employees. Market performance affects important socio-economic problems and therefore require special attention from the state. Of particular relevance is the study of the labor market in today's transformational economy and under the influence of a pandemic, when changing the needs of employers and working conditions, the growing threat of mass unemployment. The prospects for the development of the labor market of Ukraine remain a debatable issue in the modern period, which necessitates a comprehensive study of the state of this market in the context of globalization and the general economic crisis. According to researchers, the modern period is characterized by instability, forced decline in economic activity and inconsistency with the market of educational services. The situation is considered to be a crisis and one that produces: labor poverty, expansion of forced labor without decent pay, stratification of the population into socially vulnerable groups, inconsistency with the market of educational services and reduced quality of labor potential and motivation for productive activity. The article deals with the research of the labor market by modern Ukrainian scientists. On the basis of statistical data, a study of demographic indicators and the state of the labor market in Ukraine in general and by region was carried out. The factors that have the greatest negative impact on the effective functioning of the market and meeting the needs of Ukrainian citizens for work have been identified. Disproportional shifts in the number and economic activity of the working-age population by region have been revealed. It is noted that the main negative factors of influence are the low level of wages; insufficient compliance of the training system; high unemployment (supply significantly exceeds demand); unsatisfactory working conditions; lack of opportunities for re-profiling, especially in older people.
