Abstract
The conditions of the functioning of state higher education institutions at the present stage of development of the Ukrainian economy require new approaches to solve the problem of the relationship between the volume of training of specialists with higher education and their employment in the sphere of economic activity. The purpose of this article was to provide theoretical substantiation and practical recommendations for the development of a higher education institution development strategy for making managerial innovative decisions on balancing the demand and supply of educational services in a competitive environment. The following methods were used in the study: abstract logical; comparative economic and system structural; statistical; sociological; modeling; the algorithm of practical application of the theory of constraints of systems; and the apparatus of the theory of fuzzy sets. Methodological approaches to the implementation of the optimal allocation of budget places of the university by means of a practical application of system restriction theory and fuzzy set theory were proposed. The result was the allocation of budgetary places, taking into account the demand for specialties in terms of the economic situation of the region, the demand in the labor market, the demand among entrants, and the proposal of the institution of higher education and the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. It will make it possible to reach the optimum balance between demand for specialists in specific specialties and their supply. The practical value of the research results lies in the development and use of methodological provisions for forecasting the demand and supply of educational services of higher education institutions, which are means of prospective reflection, predicting the ways of further development of the higher education system and modeling of various options for its functioning.

Considering that a significant number of specialists who receive higher education are not employed on a specialty, and the demand of specialists in the labor market has not become a determining criterion for assessing the performance of the institution of higher education, it is necessary to allocate budget by taking into account the demand of certain professions among entrants and employers of the region and in the labor market; 3
Summary
The balance of the needs of the educational services market and the labor market is a positive sign of the stability and efficiency of the functioning of the higher education system in the region and the country as a whole. At the present stage of development of the educational environment, it is necessary to use scientific tools to understand market patterns of interaction of supply and demand for educational services, which will make it possible to navigate consumer preferences, and to shape them. In such circumstances it is vital to investigate changes in the demand for educational services in order to adapt them to the higher education system. In the United Kingdom, quotas are set for the training of ministries—health, defense, and education
