Labor Market In Ukraine Research Articles

Платформна зайнятість як інструмент подолання дефіциту робочої сили та розвитку людського капіталу

The aim of the article is to comprehensively discuss platform employment, which accumulates workers of both high and low qualifications, and to study the possibilities of using this non-standard form of employment to overcome the shortage of labor force and develop human capital in conditions of permanent crises of instability. The factors of formation of the shortage of labor force in the labor market of Ukraine and the loss of human capital are analyzed. It is determined that in order to overcome the shortage of labor, the main directions of employment policy should be attracting the maximum number of people to the national labor market and developing non-standard forms of employment, in particular platform employment. The features of platform employment as a tool for overcoming the shortage of personnel in the labor market are disclosed. The presence of two poles of employment on digital platforms has been revealed. First, it is low-skilled employment, and secondly, works and services that require special knowledge and a high professional qualification level. It is determined that the quality of employment on digital platforms depends on the professional and qualification level of employees, on their skills in using interactive technologies (applications, social networks and platforms in the Internet environment) and on personal characteristics (adaptability, flexibility, ability to learn, professional development, etc.). The results of the study confirmed that one of the most important ways to improve the employment situation related to labor shortages is the integration into the national labor market of internally displaced persons, persons with disabilities, veterans, migrants and persons who were forced to leave the country. To achieve this goal, it is important to comprehensively use different types of platform employment to balance the supply and demand of labor in the face of increased economic and social insecurity due to war shocks.

The impact of monetary policy during the legal regime of martial law on the Ukrainian labor market

The purpose of this research is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the monetary policy influence during the period of martial law on the state of the labor market and welfare of the population in Ukraine. The article examines the effects of military actions on the workforce, employment sectors, and briefly outlines the key actions taken by the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) to stabilize the macroeconomic situation in the country, mitigate inflationary pressure, and counter capital outflows.Based on available statistical data and expert assessments of the labor market in Ukraine following the full-scale invasion, the effectiveness of monetary mechanisms, including the temporary shift from inflation targeting to exchange rate fixing, was analyzed. The conducted analysis confirmed that despite timely adaptive changes in monetary policy by the regulator, the effectiveness of the monetary transmission mechanism during wartime remains low. The decline in real production, reduced confidence in the national currency, and the initiation of government spending financed through monetary emission resulted in an excess liquidity situation in the economy, leading to diminished effectiveness of the monetary transmission mechanism. As a result, controlling inflation levels and inflation expectations during the period of martial law cannot be fully ensured by the National Bank of Ukraine.Moreover, the analysis of forced emigration dynamics during the Russian invasion also revealed that high uncertainty levels deter refugees from returning to Ukraine and incentivize them to spend earned income in host countries. Despite the unprecedented wave of emigration, the increase in private remittances from abroad remains marginal. Thus, a priority task for the government should be to develop strategies of financial and social incentives to encourage the return of the working population and facilitate Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction.

The article provides a comprehensive assessment of the state and trends of the labor market in Ukraine and the Cherkasy region. The general situation in the labor market of Ukraine and the Cherkasy region in 2015-2022 has been considered. General and special indicators of population employment, unemployment, demand and supply of labor force have been studied. The analysis has been carried out according to the articles of the section, professional groups and areas of employment. It has been established that forced migration and the need to relocate enterprises due to hostilities have changed the structure of the labor market in Ukraine, the structure of supply and demand for jobs, and the saturation of specialists in the regions. In the regions most affected by the military aggression of the russian federation, the number of jobs and competition has decreased. The imbalance between the demand and supply of labor has become significant. Demand for labor has plummeted due to the inability to work in war zones, declining demand for goods and services and logistical problems and uncertainty about the future. The results of the analysis of the number of unemployed indicate that both in the Cherkasy region and in Ukraine as a whole, the number of people who could not realize their right to work and receive wages (remuneration) as a source of livelihood is growing. In 2019-2021, it was affected by the self-isolation regime, and in 2022 by military operations. It has been determined that the level of registered unemployment in the Cherkasy region in 2015-2021 was always higher than in the whole country. The ratio between the number of registered unemployed, the number of vacancies and the number of applicants for one vacancy, by type of economic activity as of January 1, 2023 in the Cherkasy region has been established. In addition to that the authors have established a change in the approach to hiring employees. More applicants for one vacancy allow employers to increase the requirements for applicants and reduce wages. Accordingly, a certain number of employees are ready to change their profession, find additional work, and accept lower wages. As we can see, there are signs of an employer-dominated labor market. Measures to stabilize the internal labor market at the state and regional levels have been proposed. Further on, the paper identifies trends that Ukrainians should expect on the labor market in the coming years. Finally, the authors specify industries and professions that will be in the list of high demand jobs in future and whose development will help the Ukrainians to adapt to changes and find themselves in a professional realization to restore or the restore the state after the victory.

RESOURCE OPPORTUNITIES OF YOUTH IN THE OPTIMAL CHOICE OF PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYMENT (TAKING INTO ACCOUNT TODAY'S SOCIAL CHALLENGES)

The article highlights one of the problems of youth social formation - its prospects for economic employment and professional development from the perspective of access to social and economic resources, which are decisive in the professional employment of young people, their professional self-realization and competitiveness in the labor market. As such, the author singles them out and describes them in several groups of factors. These are: access to quality education, resources for professional self-realization, problems of employment, entrepreneurial development and self-employment, which more or less comprehensively reflect the directions of generation of obstacles to the professional involvement of young people at the present time in the field of employment and selfemployment. Both permanent immanent disparities in the field of organization and selforganization of the labor market, which generate such problems, and those generated by the social challenges of the war in Ukraine were taken into account. These are: reduction of state expenditures on higher education and budget places in institutions of higher education, devaluation of received qualifications, destruction of a large share of the labor market in Ukraine, decrease of vacancies, surge of unemployment, destruction of the share of business resources, decrease in the solvency of the population and other. It is emphasized that the possibility of full access (use) of relevant resource institutional opportunities shapes the nature of the relationship between the government and society, levels the growth of socialstatus differentiation, which contributes to the deepening of the social stratification of the population, a decrease in the economic level of youth activity and other.

THE ABILITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM OF UKRAINE TO PROVIDE PERSONNEL NEEDS OF THE NATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY INDUSTRY

The study made it possible to establish that the current state of training specialists in the field of renewable energy will not allow in the near future to quickly achieve the goals of intensive development of renewable energy proclaimed by the country's leadership. This will not improve the energy security of the regions and the country as a whole. This conclusion is based on the fact that, firstly, the training of specialists in Ukraine in educational programs on renewable energy is carried out by a limited number of higher education institutions, a significant number of which are accredited only by mid-2024. Secondly, the number of applicants operating in the current educational mastered this specialty in all years of study is not high. This will make it possible to rejuvenate the staff of workers serving existing renewable energy facilities. However, it will not allow to achieve the rapid development of projects for the introduction and use of alternative energy sources in the country. The work systematizes the markers of success, the focus on which by the guarantors of educational programs on renewable energy will improve the quality of educational services and interest applicants. These markers define the highly professional staff of teachers in the framework of educational programs; provision of the educational process of the educational program with certified laboratories with high-tech equipment; the availability of double degree programs in the specialty of the world's leading universities and international mobility programs; conducting joint scientific research with foreign scientists; introduction of a practice-oriented approach to learning.
 The most effective directions for increasing the number of highly qualified profile specialists in renewable energy in the labor market of Ukraine in the post-war period are formulated. These areas were recognized as increasing the level of wages in the field of renewable energy; ensuring a high level of investment for the development of human capital in renewable energy enterprises; expanding opportunities for professional development in the industry; improving the quality of existing and opening new educational programs for training specialists in renewable energy; providing a full cycle of training specialized professionals on the basis of the country's leading institutions; increase in public opinion the prestige of the entire spectrum of professions related to renewable energy. This should allow solving the rather painful problem of energy security for Ukraine.

ON THE PECULIARITIES OF THE LABOR MARKET OF UKRAINE IN THE CONDITIONS OF WAR

Social protection of the unemployed: realities of today

The work deals with current issues of social protection of the unemployed in today's conditions. It is noted that the phenomenon of unemployment is the most acute problem faced by the population of Ukraine today. If previously the cause of such a widespread phenomenon was the inefficiency of the use of labor in the past and the lack of economic conditions that would allow people to apply their skills in productive work for a decent wage, today it is war. Unemployment in Ukraine is becoming massive and poses a real threat to state and social well-being. Today, the labor market in Ukraine is rather unstable, the number of jobs is decreasing and the imbalance between labor supply and demand is increasing, and a high level of unemployment is expected. The problem of unemployment is a key issue in the market economy, and if it is not solved, it will be impossible to establish the efficient operation of the economy and the level of unemployment will increase. And therefore, protection against unemployment should be an integral part of state policy aimed at solving important social and economic problems. The employment policy should guarantee the social protection of the population by ensuring adequate living conditions, regulating wages, stimulating new jobs and paying benefits to the unemployed, etc. It was concluded that the key to solving the problem of unemployment in Ukraine should be the development and implementation of a wide range of appropriate measures. This, and bringing the legislation of Ukraine in line with international norms and principles, and the implementation of State and regional employment programs, and the promotion of stable activities of strategically important enterprises, and the creation of favorable conditions for the development of entrepreneurial activities of the unemployed, as well as the development of short-term plans for the relocation or reorientation of some enterprises, assistance to businesses that cannot pay wages to employees and taxes due to hostilities. Increasing the level of employment should become a central issue of post-war reconstruction, reintegration and processes of returning to peace.

Human resources for regional development in Ukraine: A roadmap for forecasting and determining a regional training request

AbstractThe Russian military invasion of Ukraine and the fierce resistance of the Ukrainian people confirmed once again the thesis about the significant role of the human factors in the ability to withstand challenges and threats. The war conditions have also revealed the importance of the regional leader's ability to mobilize resources for social and economic survival. The purpose of the article is to design a roadmap for forecasting needs and determining a regional request for training. The results of the study provide regional leaders with a framework for deciding on funding for training, taking into account the powers of regional authorities and features of analytics and forecasts on the labor market in Ukraine.

Вплив вимушеної міграції на ринок праці в Україні (аналітико-прогностичний аспект)

The article examines the peculiarities of migration processes that occurred in connection with the full-scale military intervention on the territory of Ukraine. In particular, it was found that a significant number of migrants who settled in European countries already work today and pay taxes in the countries of residence. Also, the study showed that forced migration led to a decrease in certain professional groups in Ukraine, which are mostly women. Further, it was found that the labor market in Ukraine has shown flexibility and adaptability to the challenges of wartime. Undoubtedly, the economic crisis has dealt a significant blow to the labor market, but, despite the expectations of the aggressor neighbor, it has not destroyed it. A separate estimation is given to internal forced migration of the population, the regions of Ukraine that have experienced the greatest load in connection with these processes are identified. The problems in the labor market, which were provoked by the massive uncontrolled movement of citizens, are considered. The unemployment rate was estimated according to the results of 2022, which, according to official data, was less than at the time of the outbreak of war. It should be noted that such information should be perceived critically, because not all persons of working age are registered as unemployed. At the same time, due to the analytical and prognostic aspect of the study, it was found that the future of Ukraine lies in the latest educational programs, innovations and investments, which as a result will improve the microclimate in the labor market. However, the implementation of these ambitious plans should be preceded by effective government decisions and the development of real mechanisms for change, as well as, of course, reducing pressure on business, in particular by eradicating corruption in public authorities. The systematic analysis conducted during the study led to an unequivocal conclusion: economic recovery and, accordingly, stabilization in the labor market should begin today in those regions that are not in the combat zone. This will allow identifying and examining weaknesses, also testing the system for flexibility to external factors. After the end of the war, these regions will become a reliable economic rear for those territories that need recovery and adjustment of the labor market.

The spread of remote and hybrid employment in Ukraine exacerbates the problems of achieving a work-life balance at the organizational and individual levels. The lack of effective work-life balance programs in companies causes numerous HR problems such as turnover, burnout, absenteeism, decreased loyalty and involvement, deterioration of employees' work-life quality. The relevance of this research is confirmed by modern practices of well-being management and working time management, which shows that a significant part of the workforce in the labor market of Ukraine needs work-life balance programs. The article's purpose is to analyze the theoretical and methodological basis for the development and implementation of work-life balance programs in modern Ukrainian business practice. To realize the goal in the article: theoretically substantiated approaches to understanding the essence of balance between work and personal life; systematized modern concepts and generalized theoretical models of work-life balance; analyzed approaches to determining the essence of work-life balance programs; systematized modern work-life balance software; optimal methods and tools for the formation of work-life balance programs for use in modern conditions in Ukraine are highlighted; recommendations were developed regarding directions and methods of their use in organizations. In the conditions of digitization, the spread of remote and hybrid employment, the imbalance between work and personal life is deepening. Without the proper time management, information management, interruption management, and stress management that is at the heart of worklife balance programs, tension and distraction create stress and overwhelm. It leads to a decrease in staff productivity, increased turnover, professional burnout, etc. Work-life balance programs are tools that help staff optimize time usage for work and personal tasks. These programs have different effects and should be differentiated depending on the individual needs of employees and the organization. Under these conditions, they contribute to the creation of more comfortable working conditions for employees, and the development of an organizational culture that supports a healthy balance between work and personal life. Such programs have become a necessity for companies wishing to retain talented employees and increase their efficiency. Examples of such practices can be very diverse and depend on the specific needs and capabilities of companies. Work-life balance is key to the health and happiness of employees, which in turn affects the success and prosperity of companies.

International labor migration and its impact on the labor market of Ukraine in the context of Russian military aggression

The modern development of the global economy is characterized by globalization, the tendency of economies towards openness, free movement of factors of production, including labor. The article discusses the phenomenon of international labor migration as the cross-border movement of individuals for the purpose of further employment. It is noted that it occurs under the influence of a range of interconnected factors, in conditions of growing differences between countries. The article analyzes the impact of mass labor migration of Ukrainians on the national labor market during the full-scale russian aggression, which the author considers as a crisis and destructive condition. It is proved that the unsatisfactory state of the labor market under the influence of crisis phenomena can also encourage migrants to leave and find employment in other countries. The conclusion is made that international labor migration and the national labor market are definitely interconnected and influence each other. It is noted that the consequences of international labor migration are ambiguous and have an impact on both the recipient and donor country. In particular, international labor migration can cause such obvious negative consequences for the national labor market as increased competition, lower overall wages in the receiving country, and brain drain in the country of origin. Using the example of Ukraine during the full-scale russian invasion, a labor shortage on the labor market due to the migration of workers abroad is noticed. It is emphasized that with appropriate comprehensive regulation, international labor migration becomes a real tool for improving the situation on national labor markets and has a positive impact on the well-being of states even in a crisis period. For example, foreign workers specially recruited from abroad or returning Ukrainian migrants can help overcome labor shortages in sectors where there is a significant lack of workforce Therefore, the necessary conditions for the formation of an effective migration policy during crisis conditions are: the study of current trends in international labor migration, the identification of the reasons that cause these trends, and the consequences of the impact of this phenomenon on the labor market in Ukraine.
