ЦИФРОВА ЕКОНОМІКА: МОДЕРНІЗАЦІЯ РИНКУ ПРАЦІ УКРАЇНИ

Abstract

The article is devoted to the definition of modern characteristics of the labor market of Ukraine, which have become widespread in the conditions of the development of digitalization of the economy. Approaches to defining the content of the “digital economy” category in scientific literature are analyzed. The author's interpretation of the digital economy is offered. It was concluded that transformational changes in the labor market are conditioned by the influence of the digital economy. The main global trends in the labor market, which were caused by the rapid development of the digital economy, are considered. The conditions for the formation of the digital economy in Ukraine have been studied. The main goals of the digital development of the state and the main tasks of the development of digital competences approved in regulatory documents were considered. The existing forecasts regarding the ratio of labor supply and demand in Ukraine have been studied and evaluated. It was concluded that it is impossible to make reliable forecasts regarding the indicators of the development of the Ukrainian labor market in the near future. It is substantiated that it is extremely important for Ukraine to take into account the two-vector impact of digitalization on the labor market (reduction in the need for labor due to the automation of production processes and the probability of creating new jobs as a result of digitalization). Also of great importance are the leading global macro trends in the economy in terms of employee empowerment. The achievements of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine regarding the improvement of digital literacy and the development of digital skills of citizens (in particular, those services related to the regulation of relations on the labor market) are emphasized. It was concluded that Ukraine should already today form a scientifically based plan for the development of the national labor market, taking into account the introduction of information and communication technologies. This plan will be of great importance during the recovery of the state's economy in the future. Keywords: digital economy, digitalization, digital technologies, modernization, labor market, employment.
