Determination of the directions of the state youth policy as a foundation for the provision of legal guarantees for the realization of the right to work: the methodology of the problem during the period of martial law

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to characterize the direction of the state youth policy as a foundation for providing legal guarantees for the implementation of the right to work from the point of view of the methodology of the problem during the period of martial law. In science, the question of determining the directions of the state youth policy as a foundation for the provision of state legal guarantees for the realization of the right to work has been touched upon by scientists. However, their works related to the realities of peacetime, but there were no studies that would consider this issue in the plane of the war and post-war period. The article notes that already now, almost a year after the start of the war in Ukraine, it is becoming obvious that Ukrainian youth need the adoption of a legal document, a separate direction of which should be solving the problems of youth unemployment and increasing the attractiveness of Ukraine as a country of employment. It is concluded that in the modern plane of development of Ukraine during the period of the martial law regime and existing military operations, a mutual problem can be traced for both the state and its young citizens regarding the normal functioning of the labor market, which negatively affects the country's economy and the well-being of young people. It is noted that young people have always been one of the most vulnerable categories of the population in the labor market, and with the beginning of the war, their problems in this area became even more acute. Being objectively unable to compete on an equal footing in the labor market, young people are unable to realize their opportunities in the field of exercising the right to work, and therefore the state must provide them with special, increased protection in the form of special legal guarantees for the realization of the right to work as ways of realizing the state youth policy that will solve the problem of youth unemployment. It is also concluded that a mechanism for increasing the attractiveness of employment and employment in Ukraine should be developed separately at the state level, which would facilitate the return of young people who went abroad
