Abstract

Abstract. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of precarization as the property of the modern labor market in Ukraine that is spreading under the conditions of imbalance of the country’s employment system; to examine the positive and negative aspects of the impact of precarious employment on the domestic labor market and its regulation in order to preserve the labor potential of the country. The study uses the methods of generalization, comparison, analysis and synthesis — to understand the essence of precarization and the peculiarities of the precariat formation as a special class; secondary analysis of statistical and sociological data — to identify the prerequisites for precarization, positive and negative consequences of precarization for Ukraine; graphical method — for clarity of data and a schematic presentation of the main provisions of the study. This paper considers the essence of the concept of «precarization» and defines the main attributes of precarious employment, among which the most significant are the absence or restriction of the rights of the employee in the workplace, access to social protection mechanisms, guarantees in obtaining a stable, permanent, legal workplace and income, ensuring decent work. It has been proven that in Ukraine the negative consequences of precarization prevail because Ukrainians are mostly forced to become precarians. Indicators of labor precarization in Ukraine have been determined and systematically analyzed. The scientific novelty is the systematization of precarious employment descriptors in the conditions of the labor market deformation in Ukraine. The results of the study can be used in the development of strategic plans for employment of the population, scientifically based monitoring of the implementation of the European Employment Strategy in terms of precarization of the labor market, and also form the basis for further research in this area.

Summary

Introduction

The modern economy and socio-labor relations are characterized by profound dynamic changes that require a new scientific understanding of the problems of the labor economy, including employment. The number of employees who are forced to agree to temporary work or part-time work without any social guarantees increases This process has become especially tough during the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Ukraine’s labor and employment sector. Our review of studies addressing the labor market has shown that the problems of precarization and the formation of precariat are quite acute for many countries, including Ukraine. The review of recent studies and publications that address the formation and development of employment relations in a dynamic socio-economic context, the investigation of precarization as the property of the modern labor market in Ukraine confirms the high relevance, as well as the applied demand to continue research into this socio-economic phenomenon. The purpose of this paper is to study the peculiarities of precarization as the property of the modern labor market in Ukraine that is spreading under the conditions of imbalance of the country’s employment system; to examine the positive and negative aspects of the impact of precarious employment on the domestic labor market and its regulation in order to preserve the labor potential of the country
