Institutional Model of Development of the System of Education and its Empirical Justification (p. 249 - 254)
The article offers an institutional model of development of the educational system and provides its empirical justification. It reveals a dual role played by economic institutes in functioning and development of the educational system: on the one hand, they bring the order of the society on specific forms and directions of educational training to the educational system, on the other – they perform the reverse impact upon society through supply of educational services and formation of the social status of education in society. It identifies that development of the educational system of Ukraine is impeded by a number of institutional traps existing in the society – compositions of such institutional factors and conditions of development of education, which, on the one hand, are internally inter-justifies, inter-dependent and envisage a necessity of their joint development, and on the other – are in antagonistic contradiction with each other, blocking or excluding action of each other by their existence (necessity to improve quality of state management of education versus absence of interest of officials in it, need in strengthening control over quality of educating students versus absence of interest of lecturers and administration of higher educational establishments in it). The main theoretical conclusions of the article are justified with the help of obtained results of the study: “Attitude of entrepreneurs to the problems of development of education and mechanisms of interaction of the labour market and market of educational services in Ukraine” (Kharkiv, October – November 2012, n = 212) and “Study of models of behaviour of students in the market of educational services of Ukraine” (Kharkiv, October – November 2012, n = 464).

Pension System of Ukraine under Conditions of Reformation (p. 222 - 227)
The article reveals a number of shortcomings of the Soviet pension system. It explains reasons that made the state re-consider the basic principles of the pension sphere and re-construct its institutions. It pays a special attention to the market of the non-state pension provision, which is the most dynamic one among the markets of non-bank financial services. Fast growth of main indicators of activity of non-state pension funds (NPF) testifies to it. Creation of open NPF is most active, since they are very flexible in the context of joining or leaving them. Some of the main reasons of slow development of non-state pension provision are as follows: limited choice of financial instruments suitable for investing pension funds into them; insufficient interest of employers in financing voluntary pension programmes for employees; and low level of public information on the essence and role of the accumulative pension system in the society. The article considers the most complex problems that arise in the process of introduction of the reformed pension system in Ukraine. Using international experience and taking into account specific features of socio-economic development of Ukraine, the article develops recommendations on solution of the said problems. Introduction of the pension reform in Ukraine should rest on demographic, legal and organisational grounds. Success of the pension reform in the long-term prospect requires active actions for creation of a developed insurance industry. The considered problems and also recommendations and approaches to their solution bring us a bit closer to realisation of main goals and principles of the reformed pension system.

Regularities of Formation of the Labour Reimbursement Institute in the Market Economy (p. 229 - 233)
The article considers theoretical issues of formation of the labour reimbursement institute in the market economy. It proves that functioning of the labour reimbursement institute identifies proportions of distribution of the total amount of expenditures on labour reimbursement between different professional and qualification groups of workers. Also, functioning of the labour reimbursement institute significantly influences proportions of distribution of income between owners of the means of production and hired labour, although, to a big extent, this institute is adapted, on the one hand, to the existing in the society forms of resolution of contradictions, inherent in means of production ownership relations, and, on the other hand, to the situation in a relevant labour market segment. However, the labour reimbursement institute itself significantly influences realisation of interests of employees and employers. The article states that wages in the modern economy should be understood as an incomplete labour reimbursement – the entrepreneur spends on an employee not only the sum of wages, but also uses other forms of resource provision of the processes of acquisition of certain benefits by the enterprise employees.

On Some Aspects of Higher Education and Role of Large Cities (p. 164 - 168)
Information explosion and transition in economically developed countries to mass higher education resulted in a number of problems connected with the quality of training specialists with higher education and organisation of the system of higher education and regulation of processes that take place in it. Roots of the current problems in higher education should be searched for in 70s and 80s of the past century. Problems of higher education in this period appeared in developed western countries and in former USSR were nearly the same. They were left unsolved and events that took place in the post-Soviet territory during the past decades added new problems. The most complex problems of higher education in Ukraine are multiple increase of a number of colleges and decentralisation of the system of higher education of the country, which, in its turn, had a negative impact on quality of training. The article offers a number of measures which would allow finding a way out of this situation and would simultaneously free the country budget from excessive load. Major Ukrainian cities would play a special role in allocating objects of the higher education system. The article allocates two groups of problems, responsibility for solution of which lies on the bodies of authority and college personnel respectively. It offers new approaches to the work with structures of educational subjects and intensification of the education process.

Modelling Priorities of Financial Provision of the Social Sphere (p. 179 - 183)
The article studies the modern state of the social sphere and conducts modelling of priorities of financial provision of the social sphere at the state level. Social sphere should be considered as the basis of development of the national economy. The goal of this article is the study of the modern state and modelling priorities of financial provision of the social sphere at the state level. The subject of the study is modelling priority directions of financial provision of components of the social sphere. Taking into account fast changes in the social sphere of the country and regular increase of social standards, the article identifies a necessity of changing priorities of the social policy, first of all, problems of financing the social sphere and formation of priority directions on improvement of this system. The article shows that the main problems of financial provision of the social sphere are: insufficient volumes of budget funds for financing the social sphere, financing practically all items of social expenditures in a smaller volume than it is required for the existing social support of the population and absence of mechanisms of ensuring quality of social services. The article offers to use the hierarchy analysis method for identifying immediate and priority directions of financing components of the social sphere. On the basis of the built directed communication graph the article presents a binary matrix of dependence of components of the social sphere and builds a hierarchy model of these components. As a result it is seen that the highest level of hierarchy is taken by science, then healthcare and social sphere are at the same level, then education, sports and at the lowest level are culture and art. The obtained results could be used when improving financing of the social sphere. In order to ensure efficiency of functioning of the social sphere it is necessary to improve the system of financing of its components on the basis of use of the hierarchy model. Moreover, building the model of hierarchy composition of priorities of the social sphere with consideration of experience of the leading world countries requires further study.

Personnel Motivation: Essence and Modern Problems (p. 205 - 210)
The goal of the article lies in the study of the essence of labour motivation and establishment of differences between stimulation and motivation. While analysing the “motivation” notion the article shows that internal wishes and goals of a human being stimulate this human being to act in a specific direction in order to achieve the set goal. Moreover, the article states that there are two theories of motivation in the modern economic literature – meaningful and procedural. As analysis of indicators of payment for labour in Ukraine shows, there is a rather significant differentiation of sizes of wages by branches of economic activity and there are arrears of wages. These indicators to a certain extent facilitate reduction of motivation of workers for labour activity. In order to increase employment of the population under conditions of the market economy, it is necessary to develop a system of measures for elimination of these problems at the state level and also to reduce to the minimum manifestations of “shadowing” wages.

Methodical Approaches to Assessment of Life Quality of People: Foreign and Domestic Experience (p. 225 - 230)
The article generalises and analyses modern methodical approaches to assessment of life quality of people on the basis of the existing foreign and domestic experience. It shows that, despite the urgency and significance of the problem of assessment of life quality of people and significant interest to this problem in the whole world, many of its aspects are insufficiently studied and methodically supported. The goal of the article is analysis and generalisation of basic international approaches to assessment of life quality, which are used in international and domestic studies, and identification of their positive sides and shortcomings. The article shows that life quality is a synthetic, multilevel, multifactor and multi-component system, that is why study of the life quality should be done from the position of a system analysis and it should be assessed in combination with consideration of interconnections and interdependence of all of its components. It also shows that the existing methodical approaches to assessment of the life quality could be divided into two main groups: approaches, in the basis of which is the external objective assessment (objective approach), and approaches based on the subjective self-assessment of the life quality by people themselves (subjective approach). It shows that a significant shortcoming of both approaches is their one-sided and limited character. It proves that the most expedient for measuring life quality of people is an integral approach, the essence of which lies in combination of both these approaches into one single system. The integral approach could be fruitfully used for assessment of the life quality of people when carrying out studies in many branches of knowledge and spheres of public life.

Contradictions and Their Consequences in the Labour Market in Ukraine (p. 231 - 236)
The article considers modern tendencies of the Ukrainian labour market and the most critical contradictions connected with the methods of their regulation. Urgency of study of problems of appearance of inconsistencies is caused by strengthening of social tension, which covered the Ukrainian labour market recently. The goal of the study is identification of modern contradictions of the labour market, which cause the biggest response in the society, and search for such regulation instruments, which would reduce negative manifestation of these contradictions. The following contradictions are quite frequent nowadays: considerable dependence of the whole economy on political solutions, when decisions made by the power are inconsistent; small volume of financing of the production sphere, due to which production assets deteriorate fast; critical demographic situation and asymmetric allocation of production facilities; rather big number of disengaged workers of the production sphere; low wages in the majority of spheres of economic activity and many other contradictions. In order to solve existing inconsistencies in general, state bodies apply adjustments only, but a more effective method is combination of state instruments of regulation and market instruments. Since there is a big number of contradictions in the market of labour, each of them should have relevant individual instruments, but with consideration of other problem issues in order not to aggravate the existing situation. Drawing the conclusion it should be noted that regulation of the labour market requires search for compromises between the market principles of regulation and state measures on avoiding the existing contradictions or minimisation of their negative impact on formation, functioning and development of the modern labour market.

Components of Material Encouragement of Enterprise Employees (p. 266 - 270)
The article considers main components of material encouragement of labour activity of employees at modern enterprises: wages, bonuses, additional payments, and indemnities. Having analysed functions that wages perform in present times, the article identifies that one of the main functions is the encouragement one since it envisages dependence of the size of wages on individual and collective labour results. This is also confirmed by the acting, in our country, form and system of labour remuneration, conditions of which clearly set dependence between the labour costs of employees and remuneration for the performed work. Bonus systems are used at enterprises along with wages in order to encourage and stimulate employees. The article shows that bonus systems are rather divaricated by their nature and indicators and could be used at enterprises of different branches and spheres of production. Additional payments and indemnities are also important material encouragements for employees. All payments to employees, analysed in the article, are effective instruments of material encouragement, however, they should be fairly set in accordance with labour contributions of employees.

Approach to Assessment of Efficiency of Personnel Activity with Consideration of the Personal Factor (p. 271 - 277)
The goal of the article lies in identification and formulation of an approach to practical consideration of personal characteristics of personnel in activity and making efficient decisions of the personnel service. Personal characteristics identify abilities and specific features of psychological set of a specific employee, which exert direct influence upon efficiency of activity of this employee at a certain working place. Based on analysis and comparison of concepts and approaches with respect to assessment of activity of enterprises, the article reveals an insufficient consideration of the personal factor of an individual employee by the personnel service. In the course of the study the article forms a number of criteria for objective assessment of economic efficiency of activity of an employee on the basis of definition of notions of personal profile and profession template, which are found out by means of personnel questioning. The proposed approach and indicators help to formalise assessment of personnel when hiring and designating to specific posts and allow elimination of the subjective factor in activity of the personnel service and increase of efficiency of its functioning.

Concept of Flexibility in the Context of Problems of Employees’ Dismissal (p. 212 - 217)
The paper proposed to determine the influence of external and internal factors that impact business operations, and hence the dismissal of workers, using the concept of flexibility. The main internal factors, based on which the flexibility dismissal was calculated: the average monthly salary, training of employees, and the use of working time fund in enterprises of various economic activities. Among the external factors the working load for one free workplace was singled out, the number of employed workers in enterprises of various economic activities. In the course of the analysis it was revealed that in agriculture, industry, construction, trade, transport and communication activities the layoffs of workers can be replaced by an alternative – a reduction in the wages of workers by reducing the size of bonuses, co-payments, allowances. Also it was determined that the improvement of vocational qualifications of workers can help to avoid dismissal. In industries such as construction, trade, financial services, government increase the number of workers applying for free workplace, affect the dismissal of employees, there is considerable competition in the labor market allows an employer to be less responsible in the implementation procedure of dismissal.

With regard to internal barriers, the key one for our country is the lack of business experience and low-skilled workers.

The article is aimed at analysis of the legal factors of quality of professional standards in Ukraine. Understanding of relevance of elaboration of the qualitative professional standards derives from the need for balance in the structure of supply and demand at the labor market. At the same time for their implementation will be appropriate to use competence approach in the education, allowing to quickly respond to the needs of labor market and its requirements. No less responsible for the quality of professional standards, compared to educational institutions, are the State authorities, including the legislature. Therefore, the article analyzes the legal factors of quality of professional standards in Ukraine, namely: structure and elements of professional standards, as well as existent inconsistencies in the legal framework. To identify problematic issues, a number of legal documents, combined by the results of vocational education and their compatibility with requirements of employers, was analyzed. As these documents show, an unified and correct understanding, related to guidelines of educational process and its results, is not present on the part of the social partners. Thus, an effective use of professional standards in the education requires: firstly, elaboration of a legal document that would ensure the uniqueness of implementation of the standards in the educational process; secondly, use of a single approach for all other legal documents related to the standards.

The article allocates the benefits of funded pension system, in particular, differentiation of pensions depending on salary and efficiency of use of pension savings. It is specified that with introduction of the second level and improving the functioning of the third level attention should be paid to the large amount of administrative costs, whereby reducing administrative costs (i. e. increasing stability of the funded component of pension system) can be achieved by lowering the amount of remuneration to the subjects of institutional infrastructure. It has been noted that a pension system with notional accounts is advisable to introduce with consideration of the funded component, which is mandatory. The article emphasizes inconsistency of the reformed pension system towards the criteria of sustainability, acceptability of costs, fairness, as well as partial inconsistency towards the criteria of sufficiency, reliability, predictability, which leads to an increase in the deficit of the Pension Fund of Ukraine and baselessness in determining amounts of pensions. It has been stated that to achieve an adequate replacement rate within 60-70%, which would guarantee to the future retirees sufficient wealth, will be impossible using the distribution system only. Therefore, priorities of the distribution component must include responsibility for ensuring future revenues. The formation of an effective mandatory funded system should be accompanied by adequate guarantees by the State along with a rational administration policy to prevent excessive share of management costs.

Such is, for example, the issue of classification and management of social enterprises. This article proposes an own classification of social enterprises by the degree of financial independence (partially self-sustaining, self-sustaining and profitable), since the vast majority of social enterprises are not financially independent and looking for opportunities to attract funds from charities or corporations, as well as these are oriented towards covering their losses. Specific and at the same time pivotal issue in the management of social enterprise is the duality of purpose, namely, establishing balance between the achievement of its social and its business goals. Therefore, it is suggested to implement the process of harmonization of both social and business goals in accordance with the type of social enterprise.

The Order No.332-p and the Regulation No.1379 are in line with world standards but are not considered in terms of the consumer basket according to the Regulation No.780. The carried out analysis shows that, for the time being, the normative legal regulation is not consistent with the cost of the actual basic needs of the population (food, non-food and services). In the future, in order to conform to the international EU standards, it will be necessary to reform the national standard provision of living standard of the Ukrainian population. Should the government ignore those shortcomings, the social and economic platform of Ukraine would be recessioned. A particular feature of the study was adoption of the integrated approach to the formation of the national legislative framework.

The Phenomenon of Ukrainian Poverty in the Context of Threats to National Security (p. 216 - 223)
Poverty is one of the unresolved problems among the socio-economic components in Ukraine. According to recent researches, the majority of the population of our country is beyond the limit of poverty. Experts from both Ukraine and the international organizations, including the UN, have different estimates of extent of poverty in Ukraine, citing different methods of calculation. However, whatever estimates be given to this social phenomenon, all experts agree on one thing: poverty in Ukraine is aggravated and covers the wider population of the country. The phenomenon of Ukrainian poverty is that for more than a quarter of a century inequality in the income of the population is growing, the price of labor is falling, and, paradoxically, the Government contributes to the growth of poverty by its regulation and deregulation of the economy, financial and social spheres. Therefore, the greatest threat to conducting reforms, ensuring the economic growth, to the entire national economy today, is the exorbitant poverty, which not only provides for the increase in labor migration, but leads to the total emigration of skilled workers, who are highly valued by employers of the near and far abroad countries. And yet, despite the significant economic potential, available resources, Ukraine remains one of the poorest countries in Europe.

The Social Equity as to Remuneration of Internally Displaced Persons (p. 161 - 165)
Social equity is a public phenomenon. A society that does not pay due attention to the issues of achievement of social equity will never be able to achieve the desired development. It is quite natural that injustice leads to conflicts, reluctance to obey institutional requirements, corruption manifestations, general pessimistic sentiments, political instability, reduction of labor motivation, etc. The domestic history «faced» with the armed conflict in the east of the country, in view of which 1,5 million people were forced to move to the territory controlled by Ukraine. It seems clear that these processes were not painless, there were problems related to: employment in the profession and employment in general, discrimination, obtaining sufficient to meet the housing needs of earnings, psychological discomfort of internally displaced persons (IDPs), etc. In terms of achieving social equity for IDPs in the field of remuneration, the following guidelines should be considered: provision of earnings, which is close to its size before the displacement, or meets the average level on the territory of the stay, or allows to keep the quality of life similar to that before becoming displaced, on condition of payment of rental (purchase) a housing.

Impact of Tendencies of Social Insurance on Development of the Insurance Protection System in Ukraine (p. 239 - 245)
The article is aimed at researching the current tendencies of social insurance and their influence on the development of insurance protection in Ukraine. It is determined that the existing system (model) of social insurance in Ukraine belongs to the social-democratic, which presupposes active participation of the State in social security and social insurance and, unlike similar systems in other countries, is State-operated. The current status is researched and tendencies of development of social insurance both abroad and in Ukraine are defined. It is determined that the social insurance system established in Ukraine is insufficiently effective, informationally closed, opaque and poorly controlled, which leads to large-scale abuses. It is emphasized that among the measures to improve the system of social insurance in Ukraine public-private partnership is quite weighty, able to ensure the attraction of additional financial resources to the system. The author suggests reform of social insurance in general and of the pension system in particular by intensifying development of the third level of pension provision, based on the non-State pension funds and the combination of opportunities of both social and personal (commercial) insurance for the implementation of pension and health insurance.

The Status and Prospects for Development of the Digitalized Labor Market in Ukraine (p. 182 - 189)
The article is aimed at evaluating the formation of a digitalized labor market in Ukraine and defining the degree of involvement in the system of labor relations of the economically active population through atypical ways and forms of employment. The article explores the characteristic changes taking place in the Ukrainian labor market. It is substantiated that the digitalized labor market, which is characterized by an increase in the number of electronic labor exchanges, virtualized platforms, online platforms around the world, is also actively developing in Ukraine.

A Methodical Approach to Improving the Monitoring of Status of Labor Market in the Conditions of Systemic Transformations (p. 203 - 209)
The article considers the basic methodical principles of the monitoring of labor market in the conditions of systemic transformations. It is defined that by means of monitoring the government authorities are able to adjust their actions to reduce negative influences on the labor market. It is defined that the Ukrainian labor market begins to look like the Brownian movement: enterprises are forced to curtail production, reduce sales, save and, as a result, freeze vacancies, lay off staff. The carried out monitoring identified the riskiest industries in terms of balancing supply and demand. The industries, which delay wages and reduce its level, stop paying bonuses, suspend the opening of new offices of companies and recruitment of staff, are allocated. It is determined that, despite high social benefits for the unemployed, the power of European countries in various ways stimulates the creation of new jobs and the preservation of old ones. The directions to increase the objectivity of the analysis and forecast of the situation in the labor market in connection with the persistence of the consequences of the crisis developments are defined. It is determined that it is appropriate to monitor the implementation of activities of Ukrainian subjects to promote employment and reduce tension in the labor market – in terms of employment and forecasted distribution of graduates of educational institutions at all levels through employment channels, including those registered as unemployed. The principles allowing to form an efficient system of monitoring the labor market have been allocated. It is defined that the result of monitoring is obtaining the information necessary to make managerial decisions on policy formation in the sphere of employment. An algorithm for monitoring the employment sector in the labor market in Ukraine has been proposed. It is defined that use of multidimensional comparative analysis, in particular the method of taxonometrics, is feasible in building an integral indicator. It is determined that the resulting system of quantitative assessments of the level of employment of the population sets the task of their qualitative interpretation, one of the ways of solving which is the application of desirability functions. Based on the carried out calculations, it is determined that the social indicator had the greatest impact on the employment rate. On the basis of monitoring, the main factors influencing the formation of the labor market in Ukraine are allocated. In developing ways to increase employment of the population, regulating these factors should be considered as a priority. It is proved that monitoring is appropriate to carry out according to the proposed indicators, as they have the greatest impact on the employment rate of the population.

The following aspects are defined. First, in the practice of national enterprises, the level of salaries of the enterprise security specialists is set in accordance with the labor market conditions, but the financial capacity of the organization, based on the existing regulatory environment, plays a decisive role. Secondly, the policy aimed at maintaining the achieved level of salaries of the enterprise security specialists is implemented in the event of an unfavorable economic situation in the organization and the absence of preconditions for its improvement in the near future. Thirdly, there are the following instruments for implementing a labor remuneration policy aimed at increasing the salaries of the enterprise security specialists: a) an increase in the average monthly wage by increasing the first-class tariff rate; b) increase in incentive payments included in the production and sales costs (works, services); c) increase in the payout from the profits remaining at the disposal of the enterprise. Fourthly, the directions for improving wages management are defined as follows: a) based on the analysis of the labor remuneration regulatory framework, when the legislative capacity to change the labor remuneration level has to be defined more closely; b) based on an analysis of technical tariff rationing, forms and labor remuneration systems; c) taking into account the optimal amount of wage money; d) according to the results of the sociological survey. Prospect for further research is to study the accounting of significant structural shifts in the composition of the organization’s products (works, services) associated with the change in its specific labor intensity, as well as the development and introduction of quantitative indicators of the quality of work of the enterprise’s security departments.

Institute of Government as a Factor of Influence on Youth Unemployment in Ukraine (p. 161 - 169)
The article is aimed at identifying the influence of the institute of government on the labor market and youth unemployment by means of econometric research (modeling) and statistical analysis, as well as defining the main directions of improvement of institutional regulation of the youth labor market. Youth unemployment has been shown to be a complex socio-economic phenomenon, influenced by many factors, from the technological restructuring of the modern economy up to the features of the mental nature in adaptation of youth to the challenges of unemployment. An econometric modeling of youth unemployment in Ukraine for the period 2006-2019 was carried out. In the first stage of the modeling, the institutional status of government was specified, in the second a statistical analysis of the youth labor market was carried out for the relevant periods in the context of domination of the institute of presidency as the main political institution. The influence of the institutional factor (institution of presidency) on the regulation of the youth labor market is studied in detail. This influence occurs indirectly, through the development and implementation of relevant laws and programs at both the State and the regional levels. It is proved that, along with the influence of common factors (technological revolution, cyclical nature of development, structure of economy, geopolitics, etc.), the institutional environment plays a significant role both in growth and in overcoming youth unemployment. Institutional actions must be comprehensive, effective, covering all youth population groups. This can be achieved by establishing an inclusive institutional regime, integrating young people into the socio-economic reproduction process and their quality education.

The article examines the current status of the State-controlled employment policy and evaluates its efficiency in the context of implementation of the current Strategy to overcome poverty in Ukraine. In particular, the authors consider the efficiency of the impact of the employment service’s activities on reducing unemployment, as well as employment opportunities for the workforce in Ukraine. An evaluation of the efficiency of employment service was carried out in the plane of analyzing the implementation of the Strategy to overcome poverty for the period 2016-2019 by the following directions: helping citizens to select suitable work; providing employers with recruitment services; participation in the organization of public and other works of a temporary nature; helping citizens to organize their business; conducting the professional orientation of the population; additional assistance in the employment of certain categories of citizens who are not competitive in the labor market.

Among the achievements are the following: establishing an effective interaction between the State-controlled employment service and the business as to information exchanging; improving interaction with the unemployed; increase in public confidence in the employment service. It is identified that the obstacles in overcoming poverty belong in the sphere of management, governing both the country’s economy and the enterprises’ activities. It is substantiated that in order to increase the well-being of the population and reduce poverty in the future, the State-controlled employment policy should be aimed at creating new jobs with high science intensity, the development of small and medium-sized businesses, of service sector (creative spheres of the economy), etc.

Legislative Initiatives in the Sphere of Labor: Expediency and Consequences (p. 241 - 246)
The article is aimed at evaluating the feasibility of adoption of the Ukrainian law «On Labor», as well as substantiating the desired approaches to the development of a new Labor Code (or supplementing the effective Code of Labor Laws). As a rule, only practitioners pay attention to the issue of the new legislative document in the sphere of labor, that is, the scholars who study the essence of phenomena and processes are virtually not involved in such an activity. It is not justified to take into account views of practitioners alone, due to their focus on the result and the underestimation of using either comprehensive or systemic approach. There are different approaches to the new basic labor legislation, which can be systematized. Some of «those who care» defend the opinion of adoption of a new legal document, and the main argument is the outdated provisions of the Code of Labor Laws, approved in 1971. Other participants in the discussion believe that the regulation of the socio-labor relations is not worth a separate code, and the format of the law will be sufficient. In their opinion, the relations between employees and employers in the current conditions are individualized, do not require such significant intervention of the State and other subjects of the socio-labor relations, as before. There is also a further opinion that the effective articles of the Code should remain in force, which will provide relatively strong social protection for workers. We consider the last point of view to be appropriate. First, the year the document is not a convincing argument – for example, the U.S. labor law is based on the legislation acts passed between 1935 and 1974 that changed the interpretation of the regulations in accordance with the requirements of practice. Secondly, the adoption of a new legal instrument could lead to undue additional efforts, as well as destroy efficient management technologies and practices.

Analyzing the Labor Conditions and Ways of Their Improvement (p. 247 - 252)
The article is aimed at studying labor conditions in the enterprise and defining possible directions to improve them in the context of optimizing the working efficiency of employees. The authors examined in detail some components of labor conditions: sanitary and hygienic, aesthetic, physiological and socio-psychological. The properties of labor conditions are defined, which clearly show the impact of labor conditions on the production environment in which the employee works, and on the employee himself, his state of health, well-being and working efficiency. The interdependence and interrelationship between the elements of labor conditions are identified, and the feasibility of complying with a comprehensive, sine qua non, improvement of conditions in order to achieve synergistic effect is underlined. Analyzing elements of labor conditions by the signs of existing reinforcement of them with the relevant regulatory documents, it is proposed to divide the conditions into normative and not normative. It is defined that only sanitary and hygienic labor conditions are subject to norming, and these conditions should be evaluated with the help of a certification commission. The physiological, aesthetic and socio-psychological labor conditions are classified as not normative due to the lack of any regulatory not norms, so the evaluation of these conditions is carried out using the experimental, psychodiagnostic and other methods. The article emphasizes that only through holistic improvement and betterment of all constituent conditions can significantly improve efficiency and productivity of labor.

Assessing the Labor Productivity in Ukraine and the Factors of its Increase in the Context of Ensuring Sustainable Inclusive Growth (p. 260 - 268)
The article considers methodical approaches to calculating the labor productivity at the national and regional levels. The public productivity indicators are generalized. Regardless of the productivity level, this indicator shows the efficiency of using labor as a resource. In a market economy, the task of increasing the labor productivity is shifted to the level of the economic entity, and the role of the State is to create conditions for attracting investment, demand for innovation, and the formation of a high quality human capital. It is emphasized that productivity is a partial indicator for calculating the index of inclusive growth. This indicator is calculated by the World Bank and illustrates the development and well-being of the State better than traditional GDP. A comparative analysis of the level and dynamics of the labor productivity of Ukraine and other countries is carried out. It is proved that the working time factor is not relevant to increase the labor productivity. Activities carried out by enterprises in the countries with high rates of productivity growth are allocated, among them ? the use of artificial intelligence, robotics, increasing the digital competence of workers. The latter forces enterprises to allocate funds for staff training. A system of the State-wide measures is presented, the implementation of which will contribute to the growth of the public labor productivity. A comparative analysis of the labor productivity and costs per employee on the example of Lviv region is made. Among the proposed measures that will improve the labor productivity at the macro-level are investment in staff training, as well as the gradual modernization of the technological base through attraction of investment. It is concluded that it is impossible to significantly increase the public labor productivity without eradicating monopolism and forming a modern sectoral structure of the economy.

The results of a survey identified manifestations of gender stereotypes and/or discrimination in employment, in job advertisements, in decision-making on career advancement of employees, in labor payment, in the perception of women leaders, in the representation of women in the highest levels of government, etc. An analysis of Ukrainian legislation on equal rights for women and men in the professional sphere is carried out, examples of social and cultural events and initiatives to draw attention to the problems of gender discrimination in Ukraine are provided. It is displayed that so far in both developed countries and Ukraine there are manifestations and consequences of gender stereotypes that hinder the personal and professional self-realization of men and women. Directions to reduce the impact of gender stereotypes and gender discrimination on the possibility of professional self-realization of the individual are proposed. It is substantiated that measures against gender discrimination should be implemented at all levels and in all spheres of public life – from personal, family-based to the State and international, from education and culture to political, social, economic, etc. It is emphasized that educational work, information and educational campaigns, education in school and family, example of parents for children are important.

Modern Paradigm of Economic Activity of Youth in the Labor Market of Region (p. 154 - 160)
All the strata of the population, both the State and the interstate institutions are interested in solving structural problems of employment and unemployment, reforming the labor market and its segmentation, eliminating illegal migration and reducing the share of the informal economy. Therefore, it is no coincidence that many scholars consider the causes and problems of global changes in the structure of employment as a factor in the transformation of modern national and international labor markets. Finding ways to create favorable conditions for the optimal functioning of the single labor market is now one of the main problems in the practice of both the interstate and the supranational institutions. The article finds that the problematic aspect of the effective functioning of the youth labor market is the imbalance between labor supply and demand. Factors influencing the labor market of the region’s youth have been identified, and young people are structured into groups according to their characteristics (by age, place of residence, by areas of activity, etc.). The structural distribution of youth by economic activity has been carried out. The basic factors of the competitiveness of youth are formed; the general causes of youth unemployment in the labor market of the region are defined; problems with unemployment statistics in Ukraine, which do not allow to objectively assess the realities of its level are determined. The main directions of solving the problem of youth unemployment in the country are substantiated. The study of theoretical approaches to the regulation of the regional labor market of young people allowed to make certain generalizations. The specificity of the regulation of the youth labor market as an object of the State regulation is due to the characteristics of the young workforce: lack of work experience, professional immaturity, mobility, social dynamism, innovativeness, etc. Factors influencing the state of the youth labor market are determined: demographic, economic, social and labor, educational, institutional, etc.

The article is aimed at studying the problems of employment of the young population of Ukraine, exercising a decisive impact on labor indicators in the domestic labor market. In particular, the authors carried out the study on employment of young people under the age of 29, among which the unemployment rate is high, which causes the outflow of personnel to foreign markets. Also, the structure of the status of work of the young population as of the first half of 2020 is examined; problems with youth employment are identified and the main ways to reduce youth unemployment are considered. According to the results of the accomplished research, it is determined that a significant contribution to solving the problems of youth employment can be carried out by the development of dual education in higher education institutions (HEI) and professional higher education institutions (PHEI). The publication defines the content of the dual educational component for the institution of higher education, the main advantages that the applicant of higher education with the dual system of education will receive.

The Trends of Employment in the Digital Economy (p. 143 - 148)
The article examines the impact of digitalization on the labor market. The transition to the digital economy is a natural process and requires modernization of employment. Therefore, digital employment is formed, which is implemented through online platforms. The new forms of employment are evolving, due to innovative processes and transformation of the economy as a whole. The non-standard employment gains wide spread in such forms as: freelancing; tv work; borrowed employment (personnel leasing, outsourcing, outstaffing). The positive and negative consequences of such a transition for the labor market are reflected in the presented publication. The experience of mass implementation of the remote format of work during the isolation regime caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is also considered. The economy’s focus on digital development leads to the reduction and further disappearance of some specialties, accompanied by the emergence of new ones. Already, internet banking, e-government, automatic accounting programs, etc. are becoming widespread. Rapid response to technological challenges can eliminate some of the negative consequences of these changes through training and retraining of employees. Automation and robotics of production processes will undoubtedly lead to an increase in unemployment, so now it is important to develop an effective employment policy. However, professions such as engineers, actors, teachers, managers, social workers are still impossible to replace with robots. Therefore, such activities require a high level of human capital, which becomes the most important resource of economic growth. Countries should be prepared to solve problems inherent in the digital economy. Stimulating investment in information and communication technologies (ICT) and additional innovations will contribute to the growth of productivity and employment.

The article is aimed at generalizing the essential content of the concept of «remote employment» in the context of components that form it, analyzing the main factors of influence on these components, determining trends and features of development and spread of remote employment in coronavirus crisis. Analyzing and summarizing the scientific works of many scholars and practitioners, the sequence of development and implementation of the novel alternative forms of employment is researched. The tendency to change their essential content is defined as being dependent on the development and introduction of modern technologies. The main factors influencing the possibility of transferring novel forms of employment into a virtual mode are analyzed. The main advantages and disadvantages of spread of remote employment in lockdown conditions are allocated and analyzed. It is specified that a significant part of them can be formulated as follows: the first ones – as an advance that needs to be shared; the second ones – as problems to be solved. Doing this is quite feasible and necessary in order to develop the appropriate policy. As a result of the research, the main obstacles to the development of remote employment are identified, which include a large-scale downturn in the economic attitudes of business entities and the growth of social tension. It is reasoned that under such conditions, the strong-willed orders on the part of government can only worsen the existing situation. It is proved that only strengthening the partnership between the State, business and civil society on the basis of restoring mutual trust of all economic actors will provide an opportunity to develop a deliberate policy of recovery, part of which is the large-scale proliferation of remote labor. Remote labor will become not only a mechanism for overcoming coronavirus crisis, but also a mechanism for large-scale renewal of Ukraine’s economy on the basis of the use of the latest technologies. Prospects for further research in this direction are the creation and adapting of novel forms of remote labor, their formalization, institutional and legal support, the construction of new models of full-fledged social partnership between the State, business and civil society in the sphere of labor and employment, etc.

The Role of Social Standards in Social Policy of the Country (p. 146 - 151)
The article is aimed at defining the role of social standards in the formation of social policy of the country. The peculiarities of interpretation of social policy in scientific literature are analyzed, key agents of the social policy interaction are identified as follows: economic policy, health policy, education and fiscal policy. Education policy provides the economy with human capital and thereby creates preconditions for economic development. Economic policy interacts with social policy in terms of distribution of access to goods, services and resources, as well as in terms of providing employment. In turn, fiscal policy carries out the secondary distribution of income through transfers. Social policy, aside from social protection of the population, aims to create conditions for access to education and services of the health care system. The structure of social standards and guarantees enshrined in the Law of Ukraine «On the State Social Standards and the State Social Guarantees» is considered in terms of definitions of terms, aim and purpose. A brief overview of the world practice of implementation of social welfare programs is specified, in the development of which social standards are taken into account, as well as existing approaches to the formation of social security in Ukraine. As a result of the carried out research, it was found that through preventive, restorative and compensatory interventions, social security allows beneficiaries to maintain their standard of living, find work or improve their own prospects in the labor market, as well as create conditions for social integration and preservation of physical and mental health. In this context, social standards are the criteria for the need for intervention and play the role of the norm on the amount of interference for the implementation of social policy of the State. On the other hand, social standards can act as targeted benchmarks of this policy, agreed with the goals of the country’s development.

New Quality of Life as Part of Social Security (p. 225 - 230)
An important function of the socially oriented State is the formation of its social security. The implementation of a number of measures that guarantee the protection of interests in the social sphere of both an individual citizen and the country as a whole is a task of social security. The purpose of the article is to develop a conceptual approach to the formation of a new quality of life as part of social security. The provisions of the conceptual approach to the formation of social standards of a new quality of life as part of social security in Ukraine are formulated. One of the steps towards the systematic transformation of social policy is the development of a conceptual scheme for the formation of social standards of a new quality of life in Ukraine, which closer defines and details its components: principles, techniques, directions of use, sources of funding, forms of financing, system of provision. It is noted that the basis for the construction of a conceptual scheme for the formation of social standards of a new quality of life in Ukraine is the use of two groups of techniques: the first group directly reflects the provision of citizens: determining the norms and standards of quality of life of the population, determining the normative standard of living, determining the budget limits; the second – indirectly, through the tariff policy in the sphere of social insurance and benefits influences the welfare of citizens. It is also emphasized that in the formation of social policy in terms of determining the social standards of a new quality of life it is necessary to combine and gradually move from the administrative-subsidized to the insurance system of provision. Formation of social standards of new quality of life of the population of Ukraine in the context of social security requires the State to form a balanced socio-economic policy, which aims to implement structural changes in the economy in the context of the implementation of social priorities of society, to form a socially fair and effective system of distribution of created amenities, to ensure social orientation of expenditures of the State Budget of Ukraine.

Current Trends of the State Regulation of International Labor Migration (p. 231 - 237)
The problem of labor migration in Ukraine has become relevant in recent years, as it significantly affects the socio-economic development of both donor and recipient countries. As a complex economic phenomenon, labor migration changes the composition of labor resources, creates a new situation in labor markets, exacerbates the demographic situation in the country. The article is concerned with the analysis of problems of labor migration of economically active population in Ukraine and aspects of formation of the State policy of regulation of migration processes. The purpose of the article is theoretical substantiation, development of scientific and methodological bases and practical recommendations aimed at improving the system of regulation of international migration of economically active population in the context of globalization in order to obtain socio-economic benefits from the State participation in migration processes, etc. In the process of detailed analysis of the characteristics of migrants, clear trends in modern migration processes have been identified: migrants mainly are from rural areas of the west of the country; migrant workers are mostly men; younger people and rural residents predominate among migrant workers; people with higher education are less likely to migrate, while people with vocational education are overrepresented among migrant workers; migrants risk losing skills, etc. The mechanism of regulation of migration flows is substantiated – as a set of measures of influence of the State bodies on migration objects in order to ensure the optimal level of migration that meets the needs of the national / regional labor market and helps stabilize the macroeconomic situation in the country / region; tasks of the mechanism are defined. Functioning and effective development of mechanisms for regulating labor migration processes, as a special tool for the transformation of regional labor markets – combines socio-cultural, research and economic functions, necessitates an interdisciplinary approach to substantiate the increase of the competitiveness of the latter. The scientific basis of this approach is the methodology of institutional analysis – a set of concepts, principles and provisions based on the theories of human, intellectual and migratory capital, institutional economics, the theory of territorial migration systems and more.

Strategy for Ensuring Social Security in the Labor Market of Ukraine: Directions of Development and Implementation (p. 238 - 244)
The article defines the directions of development and implementation of the strategy for ensuring social security in the labor market of Ukraine, taking into account the current state of the sphere of labor and employment. In particular, the main structural elements of the strategy are defined, including its purpose and objectives; subjects, object and subject matter; fundamental principles of strategy; characteristics and assessment of both external and internal threats to social security in the labor market (in particular, by means of SWOT analysis); criteria and indicators of social security in the labor market; priority directions, measures and mechanisms for ensuring social security in the labor market, taking into account its multilevelness. The author’s own vision of the concept of a multilevel strategy for ensuring social security in the labor market of Ukraine is substantiated and the priority directions of its implementation at the State level are characterized. Among the strategic priorities are defined the directions and measures of public policy that will contribute to the neutralization of major threats and negative phenomena at the national level. In particular, measures have been characterized that will contribute to the achievement of key goals for ensuring social security in the labor market: balance of its development; deshadowing of employment; reducing unemployment, primarily among the least competitive categories of the workforce – young people and older people; increase in the level of remuneration and labor incomes of the population. As result of the implementation of the proposed measures, it is expected to improve the state of social security in the labor market, which will have an expression in the growth of the level of balance of the labor market; reducing the scale of the manifestation of major threats to its development, including informal employment, the spread of unemployment, low level of real wages; as well as in ensuring the increase in income and welfare of the population of Ukraine.

Analyzing the Factors of Influence on Life Quality of the Population of Ukraine (p. 199 - 206)
The article is concerned with developing methodical recommendations for assessing the factors of influence on life quality of the population of Ukraine. The algorithm for analysis of factors of influence on life quality of the population of Ukraine is proposed, which includes the following sequence of stages: formation of an information array of data on the level and quality of life of the population in the context of Ukrainian regions; identification of the factors influencing the quality of life of the population of Ukraine (selection of the method for extraction of factors, determination of the number of factors, assessment of factor loads, rotation of factors (if necessary), interpretation of factors); development of proposals for modifications of social standards. A generalization of the results of factor analysis for 2004–2018 allowed to allocate the factors of influence on life quality of the population of Ukraine: material well-being; demographic development; safety; stratification of the population; availability of medical care; ecological security. When forming social standards, it is necessary to take into account not only the norms of material wealth (income per person) and the provision of basic needs of the population (food availability), but also the availability of medical service, educational services and secure living conditions. In Ukraine, the stratification of the population has increased, so social standards should be aimed at reducing this stratification, including in the regional context, by stabilizing local budgets. The close relationship of employment and material well-being indicators justifies the need to stimulate employment of the population. Protecting the population from the negative consequences of ecological deterioration should be one of the areas of interaction between social policy and environmental policy.

Mixed Working Hours in the Conditions of the COVID-2019 Pandemic (p. 207 - 212)
The article is aimed at valuating the experience of using mixed modes in the context of the COVID-2019 pandemic based on the results of sociological studies as well as substantiating the potential for the development of legal and regulatory provision. In the context of the pandemic, many enterprises switched to remote work and the working hours changed. For Ukraine, this is a new experience in implementing online work and a more flexible working day, so it is important to study this issue. During the COVID-2019 pandemic, enterprises faced the only legal opportunity to organize their activities through work at home. The authors carried out a sociological study on the use of mixed modes in the context of the COVID-2019 pandemic, which found out that 69.6% of respondents work remotely, 60.9% work on a flexible schedule, and 43.5% of respondents account for part-time work. 73.9% of the respondents faced mixed working modes. Regarding the preparedness of business owners to work in the new conditions, it is found out that the majority of respondents are satisfied with how their organization has switched to a remote or mixed form of work. Remote work can be combined with other modes, such as part-time or flexible working hours and full-time work. This combination can be considered as a mixed working time mode. According to the outcome of sociological researches, the use of mixed working hours is already a common reality, not an exception. Use of them has its own peculiarities in various spheres of activity, which requires further research. The survey identified the respondents both satisfied and dissatisfied with mixed working hours. It should be noted about the available potential to improve the legal and organizational-economic principles of using mixed modes of working time organization.

Gender Unemployment Caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Consequences in Ukrainian Society (p. 212 - 217)
The article is aimed at studying how the pandemic crisis affects women and men, i.e.: the issues of employment and wages, as well as the related consequences. The article focuses on the issue of gender unemployment in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is researched that, according to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the majority of women are employed in institutions whose functioning falls on temporary quarantine restrictions of the government, namely: food, postal and courier activities, financial and insurance activities, education, healthcare, art, sports and entertainment, activities in the field of creativity and functioning of libraries and archives. Several consequences of the coronavirus crisis are distinguished – quarantine and self-isolation significantly influenced the statistics of appeals for cases of domestic violence and the occurrence of stressful and depressive disorders in the population. There are facts speaking in favor of that the number of people identifying manifestations of depressive disorders and increased levels of stress in themselves has increased significantly. In combination with unemployment and depression, this is a potentially dangerous social manifestation, i.e.: in conditions of economic and social crisis, a significant part of working-age people can abuse alcohol or drugs, fall into depression, think about suicide and even develop aggression. It is concluded that the quarantine situation also exacerbates the problem of distribution of gender roles in the family, since the main burden of performing unpaid care work during quarantine rests upon women.

Intellectual Work as an Instrument to Ensure the Achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (p. 217 - 223)
The article explores the role and contribution of intellectual work to the process of ensuring and improving the main aspects of human life in accordance with the Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Intellectual work is considered as an important resource for the creation of high-quality, innovative production, which provides for solution of important global problems of sustainable development. As part of a multilateral integrated approach, the impact of intellectual work results on the achievements of SDGs is researched. It is determined that the SDGs are interconnected and reinforce each other in the process of achievement, which is why their results are also comprehensive, that is, the result of improvements in the field of one goal is the way to achieve another one. A reflection of the dominant role of intellectual work in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals is the ninth SDGs – innovation and infrastructure. The development of technologies, creation of innovations and breakthrough solutions are crucial in the context of achieving the SDGs, and, accordingly, intellectual work, intellectual property and innovations are increasingly becoming socially significant and, due to the increased importance, need developing and implementing the policy of the integrity of scientific research along with protecting their results. Prospect for further research in this direction can be the issues of enhancing the efficiency of intellectual workers and increasing the opportunities to use the potential of intellectual activity for the further development of society.

Standard and New Forms of Employment: Diversification of Opportunities in the Context of Digitalization and Globalization (p. 224 - 231)
The article is aimed at examining the current trends in the formation of employment structure and the peculiarities of both the standard and the «new» models of labor to determine the risks and opportunities for using various forms of employment in Ukraine in the conditions of the crisis of instability. The factors of demand (regulation of employment, creation of conditions for the development of highly intellectual employment and individual economic activity, technological development, economic cycles, etc.) and supply (personal characteristics of employees: age, gender, education, level of qualification) are analyzed, which influence the choice of employment forms and determine their use in the national labor market. The peculiarities (employment mode, remuneration and qualifications of employed people, their socio-demographic characteristics) of certain forms of employment in Ukraine are disclosed on the basis of the analysis of microdata of a sample survey of the population on issues of economic activity. It is determined that in Ukraine the most common was a permanent form of employment, other more flexible or even precarious forms of employment developed and functioned along with it, the regularities of usnig them were determined by the interaction of factors of the labor supply and demand. The results of the research justify the existence of a link between the stability of the form of employment and the factors of the labor supply, which include age, gender and educational qualification level. It is proved that the achievement of competitiveness of the national labor market will be determined by the complex use of various forms of employment to balance the demand and supply of labor in the conditions of digitalization and globalization of the economy.

The Gender Features of the Labor Market in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic (p. 176 - 182)
The article is aimed at exploring the gender features of the labor market in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the impact of quarantine restrictions caused by the introduction of anti-epidemic measures to counteract the spread of coronavirus disease in Ukraine, on the existing balance of gender equality in Ukrainian society. The identified gender inequality manifestations in the labor market have intensified and received negative dynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarantine restrictions and the limited activities of enterprises in the sphere of trade, culture, art, education, hotel business and others, in the structure of employment of which the women’s labor force prevails, have caused an increase in the number of unemployed and a decrease in the social protection of employees involved in these sectors. An increase in the wage gap between women and men during the period of quarantine restrictions both by type of economic activity and by region is identified. The proposals and recommendations are directed towards: taking into account gender needs in overcoming the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic; reducing gender inequality and injustice in employment and income; ensuring support for political activity of the female population, involvement in decision-making in the life of both the community and the State; strengthening liability for direct or indirect discrimination and gender inequality; taking into account in the programs of socio-economic development of territories of gender needs as to different age groups; introduction of training aimed at ensuring gender approach and gender equality in organizations and enterprises; financial, economic, legal and educational support for the development of women’s business. Prospect for further research in this direction is to determine the impact of the existing level of gender equality and the structure of employment by gender in the sectors on the possibilities of economic development of the country.

One of the key levers of socio-economic policy of the State is the setting of a minimum wage in the legislative order. The author systematizes the basic factors on the ground of which the minimum wage should be determined: subsistence minimum; relation to the average level of wages, taking into account its unevenness in the regions of Ukraine; growth rate of the consumer price index. The level of minimum wage and its compliance with the above specified factors, taking into account the practice of developed countries, is analyzed. The author determines an inadequacy of this indicator of the economic situation and the inconsistency of its dynamics from 2016 to the present time with the basic factors studied. The negative impact of raising the minimum wage on the dynamics of the number of people transferred to part-time and those who were on vacation without wages is defined. Several directions of improvement of the State policy on setting the level of minimum wage are proposed.

The article considers the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the process of implementing technologies for the organization of remote work both in management and in the technical sphere. The COVID-crisis is seen as a factor that has facilitated, accelerated and intensified the introduction of remote forms of work, because precisely due to the problem of new jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic both remote work and information-technological improvement of enterprises become relevant. The article is aimed at researching the development of remote forms of work under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The object of the research is the process of introducing remote forms of work at Ukrainian enterprises. The subject of the the research is the organization of remote forms of work at enterprises during the COVID-19 pandemic. The article presents the results of the study (based on a survey) of the demand for a remote form of work and training among Ukrainians during the COVID-19 pandemic. 150 Ukrainians took part in the survey. Among them are women and men aged 18 to 65 who work and study both traditionally and remotely. The analysis of the data was carried out using a Google survey. The survey participants were asked topical questions about their possibility and desire for a complete transition to a remote form of work; level of development of the remote form of work at their enterprise or place of study. As result, the most positive and negative, according to the respondents, traits of a remote form of work are identified; also the most frequently used programs to provide remote work. The conclusions emphasize that Ukrainians are not only ready to accept new forms of work organization, but also actively adapt to them and, despite the shortcomings, the remote form of work is in demand and promising, especially in the context of quarantine measures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Transformation of the State Social Policy in the Current Context: The Lessons of the Pandemic (p. 261 - 265)
The issues of social policy of the State have recently been in the discourse, in search of its new format. They acquired particular relevance in the context of the globally unfolding coronavirus crisis. The article shows that precisely the coronavirus pandemic has become the impetus for understanding the role and content of social protection of the population, has opened up new opportunities to transform it in search of true goals and instruments of implementation. It is proved that health becomes an urgent object of protection, that the health of society and an individual are mutually conditioned and complementable. Modern risks requiring an adequate response on the part of the State to overcome them are analyzed. In addition to the coronavirus pandemic, digitalization seriously affects humans and society, leading to the displacement of humans from the spheres of employment, transformation of the labor market and blurring of employment boundaries, precarization and unsteady employment. The growing inequality in the world leads to many problems in the social sphere and requires its solution. We are certain that in the conditions of modern, constantly complicating socio-economic development, increasing uncertainty and riskiness, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of social policy in which the most important values should dominate: health of human, access of human to sources of education, health care, consumption of clean water and other socially significant benefits, to decent income and living conditions. Such a system of social protection is in development, its sprouts to varying degrees of dimension and efficiency are formed in different world countries. The lessons learned in the process of combating the pandemic can become a good help in its formation.

The Pension System in Ukraine – Some Aspects of Reforming (p. 176 - 183)
This publication is aimed at studying the processes and defining the main problems in reforming the pension system of Ukraine. The article analyzes the state of functioning and development of three levels of pension provision at the present stage of socio-economic development of the country. It is determined that only level 1 actually works in Ukraine – the solidarity system of compulsory State-controlled pension insurance, while the mandatory accumulation system has not acquired its development, and the voluntary accumulation system has an extremely low share in the general pension system. Some financial results of the Pension Fund of Ukraine for 2020 and the approved budget for 2021 are analyzed. Substantiated conclusions have been drawn about the problems of the solidarity system, such as: the existing budget deficit of the Fund, which leads to the formation of its debts; low, socially unadapted level of pensions; disparities in the size of pensions assigned in different years. The rating of currently operating non-State pension funds of Ukraine (the third level of pension provision) are analyzed according to the criteria of asset value, number of participants, amounts of pension payments and profitability, as well as the dynamics of some basic indicators of their activity. It is determined that the functioning of the non-State pension system in the country is hampered, in particular, for psychological reasons due to the population’s distrust of non-State institutions. Since the second level of pension provision – the mandatory accumulation system – has not yet started working in the country and taking into account the problems of the first and third levels, a reasonable conclusion has been made on the inhibition of the pension reform in Ukraine and the need to intensify the work on the implementation of all three levels of pension provision in order to achieve a sufficient level of social protection of citizens.

The Analytical Characteristics of Internal and External Vectors of Migration of the Population of Ukraine (p. 54 - 60)
The historical prerequisites for the formation of migration waves of the population of Ukraine are analyzed as follows: the first wave («old migration» – the second half of the nineteenth century with the predominance of migration of workers); the second wave («new migration» – the end of the nineteenth – the first half of the twentieth century. with the predominance of migration of poor peasantry); the third wave («political» – after World War II until the 1980s, with a predominance of low-skilled workers and intellectuals); the fourth wave («migrant workers», since the mid-90s of the twentieth century.). It is noted that the fifth, «intellectual» wave (since the 2010s) can be transformed into a «corporate», which provides for the withdrawal of business abroad in the context of increased tax burden in Ukraine. The likelihood of a «corporate» wave also strengthens the stimulating policy of European countries to attract businesses that offer stable economic conditions. Ukraine’s place on the global migration map confirming its inclusion in the international space as a democratic and legal State has been studied. The number of international migrants from Ukraine is gradually increasing, reaching 6.1 million people in 2020, but the problem of such dynamics is exacerbated by the declining dynamics of immigration and threatening depopulation processes: in 2020, the share of international expats in the population reached 11.9%, when in 1990 it was equal to 10.8%. Studying the migration processes of the population of Ukraine, scientists and experts often focus on the problem of human losses due to emigration. However, the modern world, even during the pandemic, is developing in the context of globalization. Many countries have an effective policy of attracting human potential, thus ensuring positive development dynamics. Therefore, the authorities of Ukraine are forced to intensify the State regulation of migration processes, guided by the consequences of their impact on socio-economic development.

Social Insurance in the Countries of the World and Prospects for Ukraine (p. 194 - 200)
The article is aimed at denfining the perspective approaches and evaluating the feasibility of using the world experience of social, in particular pension, insurance in Ukraine. On the basis of the analytical approach, the essence and content of social insurance are considered. In particular, social insurance schemes were studied, among which are distiguished the following: social security that covers all workers and is controlled and funded by the State authorities; scheme for the employed population – includes the relationship between the employer and the employee, which are provided as part of the conditions of employment; individual insurance scheme – concluded solely on the initiative of the insurer. It is determined that common schemes against the background of the COVID-19 crisis among the countries of the world (including Ukraine) are assistance in case of illness, unemployment benefits, pensions and disability payments, health insurance provision, social insurance contributions. It is proved that social insurance performs a protective function for society against external risks. In particular, in the context of the spread of coronavirus infection, thanks to the social insurance system, the degree of impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the income of vulnerable groups at the expense of public policy programs has been reduced. The experience of countries around the world as to social insurance programs, including pension schemes is researched along with their further consideration, namely: schemes with defined contributions (DC); schemes managed by non-governmental institutions; notional defined contributions (NDC) schemes; schemes managed by the public administration sector; schemes of defined benefits (DB); hybrid schemes that combine the characteristics of DC and DB pension schemes; schemes administered by an autonomous pension fund. It is determined that pension schemes are being implemented within terms of three systems: solidarity, accumulation and hybrid. In general, the results of the research indicate that the management of the social insurance system in the countries of the world in general and in Ukraine in particular is carried out under regulatory and legal control by the State, which acts as a guarantor of protection of the population in the conditions of national peculiarities of the economy.

The Current Trends in Recruitment Processes in the New Socio-Economic Conditions (p. 200 - 207)
A generalization of changes and challenges formed by the novel socio-economic reality allowed to systematize trends in hiring of personnel, in processes and methods of recruitment in the context of pandemic restrictions and increasing digitalization. Among these trends are the following: use of artificial intelligence and robots; automation of processes; use of aggregation; use of social networks; application of HR analytics; the consequently wider use of freelance; simultaneous work with generations XYZ; focus on employee experience (EX), etc. These changes affect the competence model of a recruitment specialist, in which traditional competencies are supplemented with new, they become updated and acquire new features. In the pandemic conditions flexibility, adaptability and stress resistance are being activated. Along with this, general psychological competence remains relevant, which involves the use of appropriate methods and instruments in remote work; the role of emotional intelligence increases. The new socio-economic reality also requires the ability to find and implement innovative solutions, to perform related functions – promote the employer’s brand, attend the processes of onboarding and adaptation of newly accepted employees in the context of remote work or hybrid labor regimes during pandemic restrictions. In conditions of remote and mixed modes of work, the role of the ability of a recruitment specialist to maintain high productivity, compliance with optimal time, ensuring the result at optimal costs grows. The developed analytical abilities and dynamics of thinking, communicative competence in new conditions, ability to independently organize working day, work environment and recruitment processes, compliance with work-life balance also become key competencies. Accordingly, the role of a recruitment specialist today cannot be boiled down only to the search, selection, involvement of candidates, but is also supplemented by related functions and requires the use of a wide range of personal competencies. In modern conditions, a recruitment specialist should also combine the roles of HR for freelancers, a leader in the formation of new positions, an agent for collecting HR data, a HR for generations XYZ, a leader of well-being-oriented staff management, etc.

Quality of Life of the Population: Content and Specifics of the Regional Level (p. 214 - 220)
The article is aimed at developing the theoretical-applied provisions of the quality of life of the population with the identification of the specifics of assessment and provision at the regional level. Based on accounting the definitions of quality of life operated by international and government structures, domestic and foreign scholars have proposed to understand this category as an indicator of the degree of provision of the population with benefits in both the quantitative and the qualitative assessment, taking into account the environmental conditions and its stability for long-term satisfaction of material, cultural and spiritual needs. As a result of the study, the difference between the concept of quality of life and other evaluative indicators of human activity was identified, namely: standard of living, well-being, human and sustainable development. The quality of life involves the combination of both the quantitative and the qualitative assessment of the degree of provision of benefits and meeting the needs of the population, taking into account the environmental conditions and achieving a stable state along with the properties of resiliency. It is indicated the relativity of the analysis of the quality of life at different levels, and therefore the specifics of its understanding at the global level and at the levels of the State, region, community, household, person are determined. The criteria for assessing the quality of life are systematized, which allows to distinguish the specifics of its provision at the levels of the State and its regions. The main objectives of the policy of ensuring the quality of life of the population are determined in the context of creating an environment of opportunities to motivate the market environment to produce benefits, creating a competitive environment in the conditions of global mobility, ensuring stability, providing high-quality social services and developing social infrastructure. Prospect for further research is to determine the system of mechanisms of regional policy of ensuring the quality of life of the population, the formation and implementation of which in Ukraine requires scientific substantiations in the course of further decentralization.

The Standard of Living of the Population and the Directions of its Increase in the Conditions of the COVID-19 Pandemic (p. 221 - 226)
The article considers the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on living standards in Ukraine and countries around the world. The status of the indicators of labor market development and the macro-economic indicators reflecting the standard of living of the population are evaluated. Negative tendencies of changes in unemployment rate during 2013–2020 and its exacerbation during the COVID-19 pandemic are determined. The authors analyzed changes in GDP levels in Ukraine and in Central and Eastern Europe, trends in the decline in the real wage index in Ukraine are highlighted. It is noted that the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine restrictions have led to significant socio-economic consequences that have negatively affected the standard of living of the population of Ukraine. This is evidenced by the growth of unemployment of the population and a decrease in the level of real wages, the deterioration of macro-economic indicators, in particular gross domestic product. In order to increase the standard of living of the population in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, measures have been identified that include: enhancing the amount of financial support for small and medium-sized businesses, providing tax benefits to enterprises that employ graduates of educational institutions; raising minimum social standards taking into account their corresponding level in the EU countries; development and implementation of the State-based social programs aimed at supporting socially vulnerable categories of the population in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic; improving the investment climate and attracting investments to the real sector of the economy; stimulating the development of youth entrepreneurship, introducing dual education, forming an effective dialogue in the spheres of education and business; use of reserves for the introduction of innovative forms of employment and self-employment of the population (freelance, part-time work, etc.).

Development of Private Pension Provision in the Conditions of Reforming the Pension System of Ukraine (p. 235 - 240)
The efficient functioning of the non-state pension system, which forms the third level of the domestic pension system, is essential for increasing the incomes of citizens of retirement age. The article is aimed at defining the main ways of further development of the non-state pension system in the context of reforming the national pension system, creating favorable conditions for attracting an increasing number of the population to participate in voluntary accumulation pension programs. The article provides an assessment of the status of the non-state pension system in Ukraine, analyzes its main indicators for the last three years. The results of the study showed that today voluntary accumulation pension programs, which form the basis of the system of non-state pension provision, are not popular among the population. The main challenges and factors that hinder its development in our country are determined. The main directions of development of the system of non-state pension provision for the near future are proposed. Particular attention is paid to the expediency of introducing the tax-free voluntary automatic individual savings pension accounts in banks. Among the priorities for improving the functioning of the third level, an important place is to find ways to further develop the non-state pension funds (NSPFs), among which an increase in their reliability is to be highlighted. To assess the reliability of NSPFs as a socio-economic system, it is necessary to analyze such parameters as: presence of public trust in the fund; the fund’s ability to cash payments; financial condition of the fund. It is proved that the improvement of the legislative framework of the third level of the domestic pension system should ensure the protection of property rights and interests of participants in the non-state pension provision, as well as ordering the taxation of participants in the accumulation pension system. An extremely important direction for the further development of the third level of the national pension system is the reduction and optimization of the costs of administering individual pension accounts of participants in the accumulation pension programs.

The Assessment of Socio-Cultural Infrastructure Impact on the Rural Population Employment in Ukraine (p. 241 - 248)
This article generalizes the arguments and counterarguments within the terms of scientific discussion on promoting the employment of rural population and improving the quality of its life through the development of social infrastructure. The main purpose of the carried out research is to assess the impact of the level of development of the socio-cultural infrastructure on the number of employed population and define the prospects for increasing employment of peasants. A systematization of literary sources and approaches to solving the problem of ensuring employment of rural population showed that in the analysis of employment problems, the use of methods of economic and mathematical modeling is effective. The relevance of solving the problem of rural employment is that in rural areas it is sharper than in cities, and manifests itself in a higher level of unemployment. The study of the influence of factors of social infrastructure development on rural employment in the article is carried out in the following logical sequence: the available statistical database of indicators of social, educational, cultural, household infrastructure is analyzed; the most influential indicators of social sphere development are determined; an econometric model of influence of these factors on the volumes of employment is built. On the basis of the built model, measures for the development of rural social infrastructure are proposed. The methodical instrumentarium of the research are methods of economic and mathematical modeling. Ukraine was chosen as the object of the study in the context of 24 regions, as this made it possible to form a representative data array to build an adequate model. The article provides the results of modeling the interrelationship of employment with factor indicators, which showed that the most influential factors in the development of rural employment in the non-agrarian sphere are the number of schools, preschool and club establishments, trade organizations and Internet subscribers. The results of the carried out research can be useful for substantiating managerial decisions on ensuring the employment of rural population and improving the level and quality of its life.

The Socio-Economic and Demographic Processes in the Context of Researching the Youth Mobility in the Carpathian Region: Statistical Provision, Suggestions for Improvement (p. 254 - 259)
The available analytical and statistical provision for the study of youth migration mobility in the regional dimension is quite fragmentary, which does not allow to conduct thorough econometric research. The analysis of the quality of information support and the availability of statistical data on youth mobility shows the presence of significant gaps of the methodological nature in the process of collecting statistical data and distributing them at the national and regional levels. Low quality of statistical information, weak level of the age-sex-adjusted detailing of them do not allow to comprehensively assess the current state of youth mobility, identify the socio-economic parameters that affect the mobility of young people in the Carpathian region. The purpose of the article is to identify the existing gaps of informational, analytical and statistical provision for studying the youth mobility in the Carpathian region and to substantiate proposals for improving the monitoring of migration processes. The article substantiates the need for significant reform of the existing system of statistical provision through the implementation of measures in the context of the All-Ukrainian population census; borrowing experience in organizing the collection, analysis and sharing the statistical information on the example of statistical services of the EU countries in terms of creating nationwide and regional registers of citizens, foreigners and emigrants; conducting annual regional selective surveys of young people on the state of its socio-economic provision, level of employment and remuneration; establishing inter-departmental cooperation on the exchange, verification and addition of statistical data between the Main Departments of Statistics of the Carpathian Region regions with the territorial departments of the State Migration Service and the Border Guard Service of Ukraine; creation of analytical centers in subordination of territorial departments of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

Actual Problems of Medical Waste Management in the Context of COVID-19 in Ukraine (p. 260 - 267)
The purpose of the publication is to analyze and systematize statistical data on the resulting waste (including medical) in Ukraine in the context of COVID-19 and problems of medical waste management. On the basis of the analysis on waste management in Ukraine, a number of problems were identified. There is an increase in the volume of waste every year, including the household waste and low percentage of medical waste, but the association of the latter with COVID-19 be in no doubt of their danger. It is studied that the introduction of modern methods and technologies in the field of household waste management in Ukraine is carried out, but with an increase in waste growth, including medical waste with a high risk of danger, the number of all available systems for the disposal is clearly insufficient. According to the State Sanitary and Anti-Epidemic Standards, medical waste is divided into four categories that have their own requirements for utilization. Waste sorting is an important element in the effectiveness of medical waste management and reducing the level of their danger to the environment. An improved algorithm for sorting medical waste under COVID-19 conditions has been proposed. Introduction of the medical waste management system includes: assessment of waste categories together with the existing practice; selection of waste disposal options; development of a waste management plan; adoption of institutional policies and guidelines; creation of a waste management organization; distribution of human and financial resources; implementation of plans in accordance with the established deadlines, as well as the introduction of a training program, monitoring, evaluation and continuous improvement of the system. Solving these problems regarding waste disposal, including medical waste associated with COVID-19, is a socially significant and urgent task for all regions of Ukraine.

Evolution of Scientific Views on the Definition of Social Standards of Life of the Population in the Context of Changes in Economic Systems (p. 268 - 274)
To achieve the position of European countries, Ukraine needs to focus on the following: raising social standards of quality of life, material well-being of citizens, attracting investment, and economic growth of the State. Ensuring conditions that raise social standards and increase the opposite impact on macroeconomic reproduction processes is the most important position of the modern model of economic growth. Thus, a modernization of the economy will contribute to its qualitative renewal, which has to be accompanied by the turn of the economic policy of the State to a citizen. The article is aimed at forming a theoretical and methodological support for the definition and evaluation of social standards of life of the population in the context of changes in economic systems. The carried out analysis of scientific views of different times and practical experience of countries showed that improvement of social standards of quality of life of the population is possible with the accumulation of real and human capital, scientific and technological progress. Theory and practice show that there are factors that can both facilitate the improvement and interfere with the processes of both accumulation of these capitals and scientific-technological progress. The experience of countries that have success in terms of rapid growth of economic indicators proves that conditions that contribute to the growth of income per capita play an important role. Nowadays, we have gained extensive experience in analyzing the impact of social standards on macroeconomic processes, but we need to improve measures directed towards promoting the implementation of the action strategy developed by Ukraine to overcome poverty and renew production. The strategy must provide for the implementation of certain steps to form new standards of quality of life of the population, which are ensured with a sufficient level of budget financing. This requires the development of a system of indicators of modeling of standards of quality of life of the population, as well as a general (integral) indicator. The development and approbation of such a system is a difficult task, since it should ensure the methodological unity of all private indicators of the system and an unambiguous assessment of the level and dynamics of the process under research.

The Main Aspects of Motivation and Interaction with Generation Z in the Modern Labor Market (p. 177 - 183)
The purpose of this article is to research Generation Z, which presently enters the labor market, to determine its strengths and weaknesses, expectations, and factors of motivation, as well as to study the main aspects of motivation and to develop recommendations for establishing the interaction of employers with representatives of this generation. The article determines that one of the key problems of modern companies is the high level of personnel turnover. The increase in the level of personnel turnover is a serious threat to the efficient activities of companies, because the dismissal of employees leads to additional financial losses associated with the search and training of new staff. It is defined that in order to build effective relations with staff, employers need to determine the basic needs of employees, their values. Currently, representatives of four generations are present in the labor market as part of the staff of modern companies – each one with unique requirements and different motivations. The article provides a characterization of these generations and specifies that every year the expansion of generation Z in the labor market is becoming more and more noticeable. The views on the theory of generations and the determination of belonging to generation Z on the basis of the period of birth of persons are considered. The dynamics of the level of unemployment on the population aged 15–24 both in Ukraine and in the European Union are also analyzed. Based on the carried out research, the strengths and weaknesses of Generation Z are considered and highlighted, its main expectations are formulated. Based on K. Hurrelman’s research, the authors of the article formed recommendations on how to better establish cooperation with Generation Z. The key aspects of Generation Z motivation highlighted by the results of the research will be useful for managers of modern companies in forming effective methods of communication and establishing effective cooperation with representatives of this generation.

The Governmental Regulation of Remuneration: World Experience, Comparisons, Opportunities for Implementation (p. 224 - 230)
The purpose of writing the article is to analyze the nature of the transformation of governmental regulation of wages both in the world and in Ukraine in epidemiological conditions. In the vast majority of countries, there is currently a profound transformation of governmental regulation of remuneration at the macro level. The Ukrainian labor market is also gradually adapting to changes, innovations and modern socioeconomic realities. For example, the Law of Ukraine «On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Aimed at Providing Additional Social and Economic Guarantees in Connection with the Spread of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)» was adopted as a kind of reaction of the State to the need for changes in the field of remuneration. To compare the results of the State’s policy in the field of remuneration, as well as the relationship between social partners in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the average monthly wage in 2019-2021 can be used. It should be noted that not always the growth of average monthly wages indicates the economic growth of the country. The main indicator of the country’s economic development is gross domestic product (GDP). The coronavirus pandemic, quite naturally, had a negative impact on the economies of countries – in most countries there is a decrease in GDP. Ensuring growth of wages in these conditions is an indicator of strong social policy and/or social and labor relations in the field of labor remuneration. By means of social policy in the country, the State regulates the minimum wage. Most countries have increased the minimum wage to stabilize labor incomes during the pandemic. The main instrument of the State’s influence on wages in Ireland, Germany, Norway, Finland and the United States during this period is the provision of temporary subsidies for wages, which are introduced to save jobs and support the income of employees. Also, the experience of governmental regulation of wages in developed countries during the pandemic includes payment of subsidies to employers, tax crediting, and reduction of the tax rate. At the same time, the implementing of foreign practices in the field of remuneration requires taking into account Ukrainian realities.

The Theoretical Foundations of Flexible and Non-Standard Employment (p. 230 - 238)
The article is aimed at studying theoretical approaches to understanding the essence of flexible employment policy in modern enterprises. The article analyzes approaches to understanding the essence of the definition of «employment of the population» by domestic and foreign scholars. Modern trends in the field of employment of workers are identified, interpretations of the terms «non-standard employment» and «flexible employment» are studied, their common features and differences are determined. The main trends in the use of labor force are aimed at reducing the costs of structural restructuring of the economy by: the use of various forms of hiring employees and their labor engagement, flexibility in regulating working hours (ensuring a flexible schedule with irregular working hours), flexibility in matters of remuneration (using a differentiated and individual approach), flexibility in the use of forms and methods of social protection of workers. The article analyzes the peculiarities of using the flexibility model in the context of employment problems. Based on the analyzed theoretical approaches, the definition of a flexible employment policy at the State level and the level of individual enterprises is provided. At the State level, flexible employment is defined as a form of labor market regulation, which takes into account and does not oppose the interests of both subjects of social and labor relations, i. e.: employers and hired employees. At the level of individual enterprises, flexible employment policy is the company’s policy towards employees, which gives the latter the opportunity to choose between working and free time – both in terms of the amount of time and the mode of its use. Thus, the introduction of a flexible employment policy both at the level of individual enterprises and at the State level as a whole will make business more responsible, increase the level of economic activity of the population, make enterprises and organizations more competitive in the labor market in the context of informatization and digitalization of modern society.

The Active Policy of Ukrainian Youth Employment (p. 238 - 244)
This article generalizes the arguments and counterarguments within the framework of the scientific discussion on the issue of increasing the level of employment of young people in Ukraine by increasing the students’ motivation for employment and developing professional and social skills demanded by the market. The main purpose of the research is to assess the current state of the youth segment of the labor market and determine the directions of intensification of youth employment policy in the face of challenges of the present time. A systematization of literary sources and approaches to solving the problem of youth employment showed that the use of sociological survey methods is effective in analyzing employment problems. The relevance of solving the problem of youth employment lies in the matter that this category of the population belongs to the vulnerable ones, which is manifested in the highest level of its unemployment. The study of the problem of youth employment in the article is carried out in the following logical sequence: the existing statistical base of indicators of labor force, employment, youth unemployment is analyzed; the results of a sociological survey of working student youth are studied; the main features of the portrait of a modern working student are identified, and the reasons for the low motivation of a certain stratum of students to employment are determined. Based on the analysis, measures to promote youth employment are proposed. The object of the research is the able-bodied population of Ukraine aged 15–35 years, in particular, age groups 15–24 years and 25–30 years. The article presents current measures to intensify youth employment in the face of present time challenges, in particular, it proposes a wider involvement of employers in improving the quality of labor training, increasing the students’ motivation for employment, developing social competencies among young professionals to ensure their competitiveness, etc. The results of the research can be useful for substantiating managerial decisions on improving the quality of training of young professionals and to promote the level of youth employment.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the State of the Labor Market in Ukraine (p. 244 - 251)
The purpose of the article is to examine the peculiarities of establishing equilibrium in the labor market and to outline the prospects of labor market regulation using equilibrium models. The state of the labor market illustrates the level of social development of the State and the current balance of interests between market participants, namely: the State, employers, workers, unions and intermediaries. The situation on the labor market in 2019-2021 was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the closure of many businesses and rising unemployment and declining employment in Ukraine. The main provisions of the models of reaching equilibrium in the market are considered and the tools of influencing the equilibrium are singled out. The dynamics of the level of employment and unemployment in Ukraine for 2018–2020 are analyzed and the main factors that led to the imbalance in the labor market are identified. It is established that the labor market in Ukraine is characterized by a lack of balance, caused by exacerbation of socioeconomic problems in the country, lack of stability of economic development, low level of remuneration of labor. To ensure the well-being of the population of Ukraine, it is necessary to ensure balance in the labor market to create productive employment and reduce unemployment. The level of employment reflects the state of the macroeconomic environment in the country, the structure of the national economy, the level of development of market forms of management, institutional support of social and labor relations, the level of entrepreneurial activity of the population. The directions of the State policy for establishment of balance in the labor market are formed.

The Methodological Approaches to Assessing the Impact of the Process of Digitalization of the Economy on the Supply and Demand of Jobs (p. 251 - 261)
The publication valuates the changes that are expected regarding the supply and demand of jobs in the national labor market under the conditions of digitalization of the economy. The contradictory forecast data and the reasons that cause them are determined. The necessity and possibility of carrying out forecast estimates of labor force supply and demand according to the scenarios of development of the national economy are substantiated. According to forecast estimates, changes in employment by certain types of economic activity in 2025-2030 according to the inertial and targeted scenarios are computed, the consequences of their implementation and the impact on the supply and demand of labor force are defined. The ratios of the demand and supply of labor force and the employed population in the labor market for 2025 and the excess number of employed population in different scenarios of economic development are determined. It is concluded that if the inertial scenario is implemented without accelerated digitalization, the supply of labor force will be 7% more than demand. With the implementation of modern digital and information-communication technologies, almost 29.1% of the potential supply of labor force may remain outside employment. Subject to significant economic growth, taking into account the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), without accelerated digitalization, the demand and supply of labor force will practically be balanced according to the results of computations. Taking into account the implementation of digital and information-communication technologies, the surplus of labor force among the employed can reach 20.9% of the total supply. It is noted that imbalance in the labor market, which arises under the conditions of the implementation of intensive digitalization processes, along with other social risks in the field of employment, will be accompanied by an increase in the volume of labor migration. Attention is focused on the assumption that without the introduction of modern information and digital technologies, Ukraine can remain on the sidelines of world economic and scientific-technological progress, while under such conditions the implementation of the target scenario will be practically impossible.

Recruiting Trends in the Context of a Pandemic (p. 261 - 266)
The purpose of the article is to study changes and transformations in the field of recruiting in the current conditions of the functioning of the economy. The relevance of the use of modern methods used in recruiting is substantiated. It has been proven that the latest transformations in the field of recruiting are not sufficiently calculated, studied and covered in scientific sources, hence, as a result, the constant demand of business for changes in this area. It is noted that Ukrainian companies, as a rule, use standard methods of personnel search, without using modern and targeted search channels, limiting themselves to the number of candidates. The transition of recruiting from standard to virtual is considered, recommendations are provided for remote communication with candidates and the general rules of netiquet are considered. A scheme for the distribution of roles and responsibilities in the recruiting department is proposed in connection with the development and launch of a new sourcing direction and the role of the recruiter in attracting candidates. Recommendations are proposed for building a recruiting process in a company, to which should be paid more attention, determining the focus and resources. The presented list of digital instruments in the recruitment process continues to expand, every year new products and programs are released, which are aimed at facilitating the work of the recruiter. Nevertheless, the market is experiencing a slow pace of implementation of these instruments due to the fact that these are financial costs that companies are not ready to bear, in conditions of economic instability and pandemic. Recruiters are encouraged to continue to increase their technical skills and knowledge in order to increase their professional efficiency and respond to changes in the market. It has been proven that companies need to pay more attention to the issue of employee retention, the correct construction of a recruiting strategy, to establish a training process for recruiters, to provide all the necessary tools for work, because without this they can lose their positions in the market.

The Methodological Provision for Measuring the HR Department Efficiency (p. 81 - 88)
Modern trends in the development of enterprise are associated with an increase in the role and significance of the staff management system, which led to an increase in the role of HR services. To achieve high performance of the division, it becomes necessary to assess its activities. Therefore, the article is aimed at generalizing theoretical provisions, forming and developing methodological provision for assessing the efficiency of the HR service. The publication examines the scientific-theoretical approaches to assessing the work of HR service, which allows to substantiate the need to use HR metrics and propose a system of HR metrics according to the directions of HR processes: selection and location, adaptation, assessment and certification, professional training of staff, formation of personnel reserve, and motivation. The proposed HR metric system takes into account the specifics of the enterprise’s activities, as well as the balance that remains between short- and long-term goals, financial and non-financial indicators, main and auxiliary parameters, etc. Another feature of the proposed methodological provision is the determination of standardized (threshold) values, which was carried out on the basis of the benchmarking method. The analysis of the obtained evaluation results is proposed to be carried out using the HR service performance matrix. The developed matrix is a tool for analyzing the efficiency of the HR service, identifying the main problems according to various directions of HR processes and planning the budget of the HR service. The proposed tool is theoretically substantiated and is based on two indicators: the proportion of the budget for working with staff in the total amount of staff costs and the integral indicator of the efficiency of performance of the HR service.

Social Development in Ukraine in the Context of Intensifying Social Business (p. 60 - 66)
The relevance of the study is due to the necessity to deepen the theoretical and methodological analysis of social development. The article is aimed at substantiating and generalizing the impact of social entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility of business on the level of social development of Ukraine. The components of social development, upon which the greatest influence occurs, are determined. The current trends in the development and spread of social business are analytically substantiated, the growth of the number of socially responsible business entities is proved. Thus, it is substantiated that social entrepreneurship overwhelmingly affects the solution of social problems of the population, in particular, employment; helps vulnerable groups of the population, including persons with disabilities; improves the state of community social infrastructure, etc. Instead, within the terms of corporate social responsibility, the social effect concerns ensuring decent work for its employees; responsible behavior toward stakeholders and society; solving social problems through the implementation of social projects or other social initiatives (in particular, charity and volunteering), as well as ecological problems. It is emphasized that the effectiveness of social influence largely depends on the coordinated interaction between business, the population and the State. The examined aspects of the activities of social entrepreneurship and corporate social responsibility allow to further substantiate a more efficient mechanism for increasing the level of social development of Ukraine.

Losses of the Labor and Educational Potential of Ukraine During Martial Law (p. 62 - 69)
Martial law in Ukraine causes changes in all spheres of ensuring the life of the population and the country as a whole. Active hostilities in a large area of many regions have led to a mass displacement of the population both on the territory of Ukraine and abroad. Obtaining either the status of an internally displaced person (IDP) or refugee status, puts forward requirements for the State to develop a policy of keeping IDPs from external migration and returning refugees to their homeland in order to preserve the human potential of the country, in particular, labor and educational potential. Making urgent managerial decisions in the social and labor sphere is of strategic importance for the restoration of territories in the postwar period and tactical importance for the integration of IDPs into host communities. Uncertainty of the terms of hostilities, constant change of the territories in which active military actions are conducted, require a quick response on the part of the State together with the adoption of relevant regulatory documents and amendments to the current ones aimed at protecting and supporting both internally displaced population and internally displaced businesses, returning refugees to Ukraine. The article is aimed at assessing the losses of labor and educational potential during martial law in Ukraine. The publication identifies the main risks in the labor sphere associated with martial law, examines the main imbalances determined by the socioeconomic risks and dangers. According to the authors’ methodology, an assessment of the losses of the labor and educational potential of Ukraine during the period of martial law is presented, which provides a substantiation for the directions of managerial decisions on its preservation and restoration. The main directions of prevention and minimization of risks in the labor sector and in the labor market are proposed. Attention is focused on the issues of long-term social integration of IDPs along with the development and implementation of measures to promote the return of refugees on the principles of social justice and non-discrimination.

Strategic Directions for the Development of Social Responsibility of Business (p. 69 - 74)
The article is aimed at theoretical-methodological substantiation of the problems of formation and development of recommendations on strategic directions for the development of social responsibility of business. The article substantiates the need to create a favorable business environment in society on the basis of the formation of a holistic system of social responsibility and consistency of interests of all economic entities. It is determined that in the process of increasing business activity of enterprises, focusing only on economic problems, humanity loses other important issues, in particular: spirituality, social justice, lean attitude to the environment, etc. It is specified that the social responsibility of business is based on making effective managerial decisions in the process of meeting the needs of consumers with high-quality goods and services, providing appropriate working conditions for employees, interaction with stakeholders, preserving the environment, etc. Attention is focused on improving the level of corporate reputation of business, which consists in refusing to discriminate against employees on the following features: limited physical capabilities; sexual orientation; gender identity and sexual characteristic. In particular, the findings of an assessment of the level of corporate reputation demonstrate a strong positive connection between the results of financial and economic activities of business structures and their ability to effectively integrate efforts from the sphere of corporate social responsibility into the management system of the corporation. Strategic guidelines for further development of social responsibility of business, which is based on the implementation of the conception of sustainable development of society in terms of social, economic and ecological components, are proposed. Prospects for further research are the formation of corporate social responsibility as a component of the management system in corporations.

Opportunities of Ukrainians’ Adaptation in Germany and Positive German Experience Implementation in the Development of Social Programs in Ukraine (p. 97 - 107)
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine Germany is among the countries that have accepted the largest number of refugees from Ukraine. Despite the financial support of Germany to Ukrainian citizens, the solvency of Ukrainians, the sufficiency of their savings accumulated in Ukraine for living in Germany, the opportunities and problems for adaptation in Germany associated with the language barrier, the need for retraining of specialists in many specialties, problems for buying own housing in Germany, etc. remain a topical issue. The main indicators of the development of Germany and Ukraine, the comparison of living standards of the population in these countries, and the level of social security are considered in the article. The results of the study showed that the Ukrainian system of providing social assistance is imperfect, as there is no single Social Code, in contrast, there is an undeveloped institution of social inspection, and a low level of social benefits. At the same time, the level of protection of citizens in Ukraine is much lower than in Germany. In Ukraine, the wage level is not competitive. Ukrainians spend almost half of their income on the basic food needs. Therefore, there is no doubt that the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine should include both the necessary financing and the necessary reforms in Ukraine. The authors analyze the characteristic features of the German social assistance system, among which are: financing of the vast majority of social benefits at the expense of insurance contributions; unity and orderliness of social legislation; high level of development of the institute of social inspection, which is a guarantee for the objective assignment of social assistance; high level of social protection of refugees, which is a prerequisite for public peace and social stability; individual approach to the assignment of unemployment social assistance, which contributes to a lower level of unemployment compared to other European countries. The carried out research makes possible to substantiate the directions of the introduction of the German experience into the Ukrainian system of providing social services.

Poverty in Ukraine, Prospects for Overcoming (p. 162 - 168)
The article illuminates current tendencies in the spread of poverty in Ukraine and substantiates the prospects for overcoming it, taking into account the necessity to increase the level of well-being of the population. Analyzing, systematizing and summarizing the scientific works of modern researchers, the theoretical aspects of the concept of «poverty» are considered and its substantive content is determined. As a result of the study, current tendencies in the spread of poverty in Ukraine are identified, taking into account the diagnosis of the impact on the standard of living of the population of the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, hostilities and temporary occupation of territories. Thus, among the negative tendencies affecting the well-being of the population, it is worth noting the low level of incomes and their significant differentiation, a decrease in the level of employment and the shadowing of the economy. Therefore, first of all, to overcome poverty, it is important: to optimize the level of differentiation of incomes of the population based on the principle of social justice; to ensure the development of entrepreneurship, which will provide opportunities to create new jobs; to form effective mechanisms for price regulation and anti-inflationary policy; increase minimum social standards and create conditions for decent wages. The up-to-date statistical information on poverty levels, incomes and expenditures of the population, and other indicators of living standards is highlighted. The authors’ vision of the prospects for overcoming the problem of poverty of the population in Ukraine is substantiated on the basis of the determined directions for the implementation of leading foreign experience. In particular, the need for prospective measures aimed at reducing poverty in Ukraine has been identified, including the following measures: revising the minimum social standards and bringing them in line with the social standards of the developed EU countries; reducing the tax burden on the wage fund; development of entrepreneurship; improving the mechanisms for providing social support on the basis of increasing the targeting of payments and control over the targeted use of funds; deshadowing of employment and remuneration, development of non-traditional forms of employment and self-employment of the population; introduction of lifelong education, improvement of educational and scientific spheres; reimmigration of Ukrainians and creation of conditions for the realization of their potential in Ukraine; formation of effective mechanisms of the State regulation; budget financing, taking into account the priority of the social sphere. Prospects for further research in this area are to determine the priorities for improving the level of well-being of the population at the stage of post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.

The Real Situation and Prospects of Reforming the Social Security System (p. 184 - 189)
The article analyzes the theoretical approaches and features of the definition of the concepts of «social security», «social work». Two main theoretical models of social work are considered, namely: a socially-oriented model based on assistance on the part of the State, from trade unions and social protection bodies, and a psychologically-oriented model, which is based entirely on optimizing clients’ own efforts to overcome a crisis situation. The peculiarities of street social work in the field of social security both in the domestic space and abroad are examined. The presented work is regarded as: a method of social work; the main direction of the social policy of the State; social assistance and support of citizens; a method consisting in providing social services to their customers on the street. The main directions and principles by which social work should be carried out are indicated. Prospects for further research at the level of analysis are the study of the peculiarities of the organizational foundations for the implementation of street social work in wartime. In the applied aspect, specific mechanisms and technologies of social work in the field of social security remain insufficiently studied. It is necessary to develop a system of the State-controlled standards of social services and a classifier of social services, which will allow in the future to clearly define the main components of each social service and calculate its cost. It is also necessary to improve the reform of the current system of social protection and social security in terms of taking into account the provision of assistance by categories of expenditures.

Ukraine in the Processes of International Labor Migration (p. 189 - 196)
The purpose of the article is to study modern migration challenges for Ukraine and the problems of re-immigration of Ukrainians in the post-war period. The processes of globalization and integration of the world economy have their share in the growth of the dynamism of the international labor movement. International labor migration helps to overcome cultural, ethnic and traditional borders, but simultaneously creates risks regarding the development of the economies of recipient countries. In the history of migration processes in Ukraine in the twentieth century and up to the present one may allocate six stages of external labor migration. The current period includes two waves of forced migration: as a result of obtaining a visa-free regime with the EU and the russian invasion of Ukraine (2014 and 2022), as well as a wave of decline in the number of migrant workers due to pandemic restrictions during 2020–2021. The problem of labor migration existed in Ukraine even before the start of a full-scale russian intervention, because of the unregulated and imperfect legislation, low wages, and the lack of a policy of re-immigration of Ukrainian workers. The growth of external labor migration of Ukrainians can lead to an outflow of labor force, which is especially risky in the context of a demographic crisis. A higher level of wages in European countries creates a risk of Ukrainians losing their desire to work in Ukraine. This is true of both the recipients of remittances on our territory and those who have decided to change their country of residence forever, which may become an obstacle to the post-war recovery of the national economy. Therefore, already now, even in the conditions of wartime, the government should begin to implement measures for the re-immigration of Ukrainian labor. The implementation of the experience of other countries in similar situations in full is impractical due to the outdated approaches, other location, behavior of the authorities, reputation of forced migrants, etc. Thus, Ukraine should develop its own re-immigration policy with the involvement of European countries, international organizations and its own migrants.

The Problems of Organization of the State Support of the Population in the Conditions of Military Aggression (p. 196 - 201)
The probation caused by the military aggression launched by the Russian Federation against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, necessitate a revision of most spheres of Ukrainian public life. The system of the State support of the population did not avoided these changes. More than 11 million citizens of Ukraine were forced to move to safer regions of our country or went to seek refuge abroad. The purpose of the article is to define the main problems of organizing the State support for the population in the conditions of military aggression. The government has identified three following directions of support for internally displaced persons (IDPs): money, work, housing. In the direction of «Money», monthly payments are provided to persons who have moved from the zones of active hostilities; to parents with children who, because of the military aggression of the Russian Federation, were forced to move to safer regions; to disabled persons. In the «Work» direction, payments were offered to employers for each employed IDP. In the direction of «Housing», compensation for utility payments for each IDP is provided to the families who sheltered them for free. The set of measures has a positive effect on the ordering of life of IDPs in their new place of residence, contributes to a faster search for work and housing. However, the actions of the authorities aimed at organizing the State support for the population in the conditions of military aggression have certain limitations: The Government of Ukraine works quite efficiently under martial law, but it should be noted that the objectively determined speed of decision-making, bypassing standard procedures, raises certain concerns in the medium and long term; there are certain problems with the placement of IDPs, as well as their provision. The burden on the State budget increases with an increase in the number of IDPs. The state of Ukraine’s economy is low-competitive, in this regard, the reliability and organization of the State support for the population depend on the assistance of international partners. However, the vector of development of social support of the population in the period of the post-war period should have a European integration orientation of Ukraine’s development. Such a focus will contribute to a faster transformation of the socioeconomic environment and strengthen the reliability of the social protection system.

The Influence of the Features of the Development of Generation Y on the Formation of the Modern International Labor Market (p. 86 - 94)
The digitalization of society and of economic processes in general has significantly influenced the formation of the modern labor market, which has led to the emergence of new social needs and necessities for new specialists and new market niches. In the peresented publication, the features of the modern labor market are considered from the point of view of demographic windows and features of the perception of modern generations. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, six generations have been distinguished, at present three generations are most involved in labor relations. Representatives of generation X are used to relying primarily on themselves. The opportunity to be realized, to express this very independence is important for such people also regarding their careers. Representatives of generation X will be more willing to do work that gives space for creativity and breadth of thought. If you do not give them such an opportunity, then they lose interest. For such people, it is important to always have a choice, an open perspective. One of the most notable features of Generation Y is the dependence on knowledge, which they find not in books from libraries, but on Internet resources. This is a generation that loves to learn, because studying for millennials is something interesting and peculiar. What used to be learned exclusively from teachers and tutors becomes easily accessible to the «upsilons». This leads to another feature of this generation – excessive trust in the information provided by online services, especially when there is no censorship. For this generation, self-realization comes to the fore. This is not to say that they are not interested in the family, but career growth still remains in the first place. Generation Z is characterized by the absolute absence of a well-defined life position. Unlike all their predecessors, the «zetas» are not motivated by either money or any career growth. Moreover, they are completely dependent and have constant need of someone to point them out what they should do. They love to learn, quickly acquire new knowledge. Large amounts of information appear of no difficulty for them. «Zetas» are distinguished by their incredible multitasking and creativity. They love to find solutions in difficult situations and solve the most complex problems. Having identified the main features of generations, it can be noted that the formation of the modern labor market depends on many circumstances of the formation of the modern digital world. Thus, this process is significantly influenced by the digitalization strategy implemented by national governments to ensure the competitiveness of national economies. At this, too, a digital economy with a significant focus on inclusiveness can increase the influence of natural monopolies and promote concentration, which in the absence of effective and transparent institutions in society can lead to increased control on the part of the State and subordination of politics to the interests of the relevant elites.

Gender Balance in Ukraine: The Indicators, Problems, and Digital Format of Support (p. 94 - 101)
The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical and practical principles of ensuring gender balance in the country as a prerequisite for gender equality. Gender equality is a state of equal access to resources and opportunities, regardless of gender, in particular equal participation in economic activity and decision-making, as well as a state of valuation of different aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender. Ensuring gender equality in all spheres of human activity is also regulated by Art. 24 of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On Ensuring Equal Rights and Opportunities for Women and Men», ratified by the ILO Convention No. 100 on equal remuneration of men and women for work of equal value and the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU. The article explores the gender balance in domestic enterprises. The ratio of the average wages of women and men in the period 2016–2021 has the dynamics towards reducing the gender gap. In 2021, the gender gap in Ukrainian organizations amounted to 70.8%. In general, in the rankings for 2020, Ukraine ranks 60th out of 160 countries. The most problematic in achieving gender equality in wages are the following areas of activity: agriculture, forestry, fisheries, arts, sports and recreation, financial and insurance activities, postal and courier delivery. In Ukraine, as in other European countries, there are gender stereotypes of professions, due to the nature of work. More «male» are considered the sphere of construction, transport, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, as well as manufacturing industry. More «female» areas of activity include the sphere of health care and social assistance. An important indicator of gender discrimination is women’s participation in politics. As of the beginning of 2021, the number of women in the parliament was 20.8% (in 2020 – 12.8%). Women are often discriminated against in an interview with a potential employer. In particular, there are many advertisements in the media regarding hiring, which contain requirements regarding the age and gender of the employee. Sex screenings are especially often used when it comes to highly paid and prestigious positions. The pandemic has further exacerbated the problems of gender inequality in Ukraine. Almost 40% of women surveyed began to earn less income, and there was also a gap of 20% between the salaries of women and men in the same positions. An equally important role in establishing a gender-balanced approach in the country is knowledge. An important aspect of gender equality is women’s self-education and development. Another problem in Ukraine and in the world in general is to ensure gender balance in the culture of those organizations that, according to stereotypes, are suitable only for men, in particular, law enforcement agencies. Thus, it is determined that there are still manifestations of gender inequality in Ukraine. Obstacles to the gender approach arise not only because of the low level of awareness of gender issues or the lack of political will to implement policies, but also because of the very slow process of public policy development along with the political reality in Ukraine. Therefore, a rapid reform is the best opportunity to integrate the instruments of gender equality and gender approach. Among the main instruments should be tax incentives for maintaining a gender balance among staff, implementing gender quotas in the composition of staff of various categories, using digital reporting of enterprises, promoting the development of remote employment, etc.

Social Security of Internally Displaced Persons (p. 101 - 107)
The purpose of the article is to analyze the ways of social security for internally displaced persons in the ongoing wartime context. To achieve the article’s purpose, the author used the methods of analysis (to analyze the current state of social protection and social security of internally displaced persons); monographic method (to reflect the situation with internally displaced persons in the ongoing wartime context); abstract-logical method (to summarize the collected material). Under current conditions, there is an increasing need for social protection and social security. Beginning with the Russian military aggression of 2014, such a group of the population as internally displaced persons appeared in Ukrainian society. According to Ukrainian legislation, as such person is treated a citizen of Ukraine, a foreigner or a stateless person who stays legally on the territory of Ukraine and has the right to permanent residence in Ukraine, who was forced to leave or abandon her/his place of residence as a result of/in order to avoid the negative consequences of armed conflict, occupation, widespread violence, human rights violations and natural or man-made emergencies. Internally displaced persons are people who have been forced to flee their homes suddenly as a result of armed conflict, internal hostility, systematic human rights violations or natural disasters, but stay on the territory of their own country. Currently, there are a number of social benefits for internally displaced persons on the territory of Ukraine, as well as international aid programs, in particular: the Ministry of Social Policy Program, the UN Government Program, the UN World Food Program, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Program, the Ministry of Social Policy Program in cooperation with UNICEF, the International Committee of the Red Cross in Ukraine, working together with the Ukrainian Red Cross Society.

Filters in Providing Social Assistance to the Working Population: Possibilities of Institutionalization (p. 91 - 97)
The purpose of the article was to study the social protection of the able-bodied population in the context of the systematization of filters when determining the target group of beneficiaries with an outline of the ways of further reforming social protection with the optimization of the filtering process. In the process of researching legal acts that regulate social protection, we discovered the following filters, which are used to screen out applicants and form an address group of aid recipients: insurance case; conditionality of social assistance; financial capacity of a person or a family; a person's participation in the mandatory State social insurance; participation in active employment programs; tying the amount of assistance to social standards and/or the presence of previous uniform contributions to the mandatory State social insurance, taking into account insurance experience and the amount of wages. As a result of the study, debatable aspects were revealed in the formation of the population filtering process from the standpoint of defining the target group of persons. In order to institutionalize the system of social protection of the able-bodied population, the following proposals have been formulated: the assessment of a person's financial capacity should be based on fair social standards; the system of social protection for able-bodied persons should be built by encouraging them to make social contributions, to be a member of the mandatory State social insurance; mandatory participation of able-bodied persons in employment programs to support their competitiveness on the labor market, formation of motivation for social participation in social-labor relations in order to help a person get out of the status of a beneficiary; simplification of procedures and restrictions that hinder the receipt of assistance; in some types of aid, its conditionality should be strengthened to improve the quality of human capital formation; strengthening supervision and application of relevant norms regarding informal employment, in particular through better coordination of actions of relevant government structures; conducting social awareness campaigns regarding the negative consequences of informal employment for social protection.

Impact of Forced Migration on the Labor Market in Ukraine (the Analytical and Predictive Aspect) (p. 127 - 133)
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 article is devoted to the topical problems of employment modification at both the global and national levels. The aim of the study is to clarify global trends and allocate national features of modification of the structure of employment of the population. In the course of the study, the following methods were used: analysis and synthesis – to clarify the characteristic features of employment at the present stage of civilizational development; general and specific – to define key trends and features of employment modification at the global and national levels; induction and deduction – to identify factors influencing changes in the structure of employment and the content of labor in modern conditions. The key trends in employment modification at the global level are allocated as follows: changes in the content of work under the influence of the latest technologies, remote work, the growth of creative and intellectual industries, the growth of employment in the field of ecology, increase in demand for retraining and training, demographic changes. The author analyses features of modification of the sectoral structure of employment in Ukraine under the influence of globalization factors, world instability, the ongoing war, national features of functioning in an open economy. It is generalized that Industry 4.0 intensifies transformation processes and significantly modifies the structure of employment. The necessity of forming a new system of education and retraining of the workforce for the formation of modern skills and competencies is substantiated.

Analytical Methods for Researching the Quality of the Labor Market in Ukraine (p. 208 - 217)
In the context of diversification of characteristics and conditions of employment, qualitative parameters of labor market development are recognized by international organizations as a priority, which is reflected in numerous conceptions (for example, decent work) and methodological approaches – both scientific and institutional (research on the quality of work, quality of employment). Quality assessment is based on analytical approaches, the implementation of which in Ukraine faces a number of difficulties: lack of information support, no uniform approaches to assessment, insufficient methodical elaboration of a complex category of quality within the framework of qualiology and qualimetry. To overcome these gaps in the study, it is proposed to apply factor analysis (main components, with the rotation of solutions of factors), while using the information obtained as a result of processing microdata files of surveys on the labor force of the regions of Ukraine. The inclusion of qualitative features of the labor market development (gender parity, opportunities to combine work and family responsibilities, guarantees of formal employment, decent wages and acceptable working hours, in particular for persons with a high level of education, and others) in the factor analysis allows to identify problem processes that have the greatest impact on the formation of the quality of the labor market. The results of the calculations indicate the decisive influence of the existing deprivations on the formation of the quality of the labor market in Ukraine. The deprivations refer to compliance with decent wages and the existence of informal employment, including among people with higher education, opportunities for economic activity, as well as gender restrictions in the labor market. The problem of acceptable working hours, in particular for married women, is also significant. Such results should be taken into account when developing a policy of labor market regulation in the context of Ukraine’s post-war recovery, aimed at forming a qualitative maturity of the labor market.

The Current Determinants of the Integration of Ukrainian Migrants into the EU Labor Market (p. 235 - 242)
The aim of the publication is to substantiate the modern determinants of the integration of migrants into the labor market of the recipient countries. Based on the study of literary sources, the consequences of migration for the donor country and the recipient country are determined. The contentual characteristics of the concept of «integration» are substantiated and it is proved that integration is not a one-sided process, since it involves the interaction of different parties. The key spheres of integration of migrants are identified, on the basis of which economic, professional, educational, social, cultural, political, and civic kinds of integration are allocated. Indicators of economic integration are defined, which include: status (employed, unoccupied); form of legal regulation of employment; type of employment (employee, independent professional activity, entrepreneurial activity); social status (worker, technical employee, professional/specialist, manager); form of organization of working time (full-time, part-time employment); stability of employment (permanent, temporary, seasonal); form of organization of workplaces (standard, non-standard); salary level; correspondence of work (profession) to the level of qualification (education) and professional mobility (changes in professional career). Based on the comparison of studies conducted by different organizations in different periods of time on the share of employed Ukrainian migrants in the EU countries, it is concluded that there has been progress in economic integration. At the same time, the share of employed people is small in most countries. Among the main problems hindering effective economic integration is the discrepancy between the professions in which Ukrainian migrants work and the level of their qualifications. The prerequisites for the economic integration of Ukrainian migrants into the EU labor market are defined as follows: creation of an appropriate legal framework; improvement of the EU policies and programs; bringing the professional and educational qualifications of Ukrainian citizens in line with the EU qualifications; development of language competencies; creation of conditions for doing business, remote employment.

Strengthening the Competitiveness of Regional Labor Markets in Ukraine as a Mechanism for Countering Security Challenges (p. 242 - 248)
The article updates the issue of ensuring the competitiveness of regional labor markets of Ukraine in conditions of critical instability caused by the consequences of the full-scale war. The aim of the study is to substantiate the priorities and tools for strengthening the competitiveness of regional labor markets in Ukraine as a mechanism for confronting security challenges. It was noted that the war became a systemic challenge not only to the functioning, but also to the preservation of the civilized labor market. It has been proven that, in the current situation, the State administration and local self-government bodies should activate, first of all, the economic tools of regulation in order to preserve the key structural characteristics of the labor market, existing jobs and opportunities for employment, self-employment, available human and, in particular, labor-resource capital, but also rational use of potentially new opportunities. At this, the main focus should be on preserving the human potential of the country and its regions against the background of high migration activity of the population. Four key directions of the regional policy of strengthening the competitiveness of the regional labor markets of Ukraine have been identified: 1) structural; 2) normative and legal; 3) infrastructural; 4) security. It is shown that from the point of view of subjects of regulation, regional policy should be oriented towards overcoming the main challenges, risks and threats to the functioning of the labor market and their impact on the regional economy. From this position, the entire range of economic levers and means of management is contrasted with the factors and consequences of: 1) the full-scale war; 2) post-war reconstruction of national and regional economies; 3) the preservation of systemic problems and obstacles to the functioning of the labor market; 4) the development of its structural asymmetries, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the specifics and impact of migration processes on the regional socioeconomic system. It is decided that this method is characterized by timeliness and systematicity, adaptability to the existential challenges of the existence of Ukraine, its integrity and security.

Methodological Approaches to Analyzing the Level of Territorial Development in Ukraine (p. 182 - 188)
The article examines methodological approaches to the analysis of the level of territorial development in Ukraine. The main approaches to the analysis of the level of territorial development, which are contained in official documents and serving as bases for development of methodological recommendations, are allocated, in particular: 1) methods of preparing a socioeconomic analysis of community development; 2) development of profiles of communities; 3) methods of formation and implementation of forecast and program documents of socioeconomic development of the united territorial community; 4) methodology for taking into account the Sustainable Development Goals in the development strategies of territorial communities. The territory as an object of development is considered from various aspects: economic, socio-cultural, ecological, and political. The concept of «territory» is usually associated with spatial characteristics and is considered as a limited part of the land surface with a certain area, geographical location and other spatial features. However, in the case of interpreting the territory as an object of development, this concept should be considered as a separate, identified by geospatial features and administrative subordination territory with the appropriate structure, conditions, properties and characteristics. The main principles on which methodological approaches to the analysis of the level of territorial development should be based are allocated, i. e.: consistency; integration; focus on the needs of the local community; public participation; scientificity; validity and objectivity; sustainability; rational use of resources; monitoring and evaluation. It is emphasized that in Ukraine there is currently no single methodological approach to the analysis of the level of territorial development, and the existing methods turned out to be imperfect and require revision. In particular, only certain methodologies of analyzing the level of territorial development are in use, as well as certain methods of taking into account the Sustainable Development Goals in the development strategies of territorial communities, although this does not comply with the principles of consistency, sustainability, and integration. The necessity of developing a unified methodological approach to the analysis of the level of territorial development in Ukraine, which would take into account a comprehensive analysis of the current state of territorial communities and the compliance of their development with the Sustainable Development Goals, is substantiated.

Methodological Aspects of Developing a Career Planning System Using IT-Sector Enterprises as an Example (p. 189 - 200)
The Ukrainian IT sector remains the most dynamic sector of the economy, despite the geopolitical challenges of the ongoing full-scale war, and continues to develop rapidly. At this, the demand for qualified IT specialists is only growing, creating both opportunities for young professionals and competition in the market. This requires IT companies to significantly increase the efficiency of talent management. Accordingly, the development and implementation of new career planning strategies is an important task for Ukrainian IT enterprises, since the extant generally accepted approaches to personnel management do not always take into account the specifics of this industry. Effective career planning is an important aspect for organizational development and business stability, as it helps to increase the level of employee engagement and motivation, as well as reduce staff turnover.

Transformation of the European Labor Market in the Context of Russian Military Aggression Against Ukraine (p. 251 - 262)
The purpose of this research work is to provide an in-depth analysis of the impact of the war in Ukraine on employment in the European Union, in particular in Poland, as well as to identify possible ways to support this market in times of crisis. The paper conducts a thorough analysis of the impact of the war in Ukraine on the labor market of the European Union countries, in particular in Poland; the main trends in the migration of Ukrainians to the EU countries and their participation in the labor market are studied; the main political and economic measures aimed at supporting the labor market during the wartime, in particular in Poland, are analyzed; the number of Ukrainian refugees and the share of those who will remain in the EU and other Western European countries in the medium term has been determined, which will depend on the duration and severity of the ongoing war. If hostilities continue or escalate, the number of fugitives will increase. A prolonged and more intense armed conflict is also likely to reduce the proportion of return Ukraine refugees. The distribution of refugees by age will be important for their impact on the supply of labor in host countries. Since Russia’s invasion, Ukraine has imposed country-wide martial law, preventing men between the ages of 18 and 60 from leaving the country. As a result, the first waves of refugees included the elderly, children and women of working age. In the future, the attitude towards Ukrainian refugees in the labor market will be determined by the economic situation in different countries. Rising unemployment, inflation, and slowing economic progress can be perceived by a part of society as a consequence of the mass migration. However, despite rapid policy measures, barriers in and out of the labor market remain serious obstacles for refugees, making it difficult for them to integrate into the labor markets of their host countries, especially in the medium term. Uncertainty about the further development of the war makes it difficult to accurately assess its possible impact on the labor market. The percentage of Ukrainian refugees of working age will determine their impact on the workforce of the countries that host them.

Accumulative Pension Provision in the System of Transformational Priorities of the Post-War Recovery of Ukraine (p. 263 - 269)
The aim of the article is to disclose a systematic approach to the formation of mandatory accumulative pension provision on the basis of the object-subject approach in the coordinates of «effectiveness – risks». The system of mandatory accumulative pension provision is proposed to be considered as an aggregate of interrelated elements, in particular, such as: objects, subjects, tasks, principles, sources of financing and other components that ensure effectiveness and focus on achieving social and economic effect, taking into account the existing risks of external and internal nature. The main objective of such a system is specified, which is to accumulate a sufficient amount of pension contributions to ensure appropriate pension payments, taking into account the need to form investment income adjusted for the inflationary component, existing risks and restrictions on the placement of pension assets. It is noted that the accumulative mandatory pension provision in the conditions of wartime and post-war recovery of Ukraine should be considered as an element of the transformation of the pension system. The social effect is achieved in the form of accumulation of a supplement to the basic old-age pension for pensioners, which reflects the receipt of pension payments both immediately and in installments under the agreement and depends on the diversification of investments in cash on deposit pension accounts, assets in securities and other assets not prohibited by current legislation. It is expedient to consider the economic effect as a source of financing economic transformations through stock market instruments that activate the mobilization of financial resources for investment in various sectors of the economy. It is proposed to identify specific risks of accumulative pension provision, which include: operational, investment, risks of unbalanced liquidity; environmental, social and governance risks associated with the pension portfolio and its management, interest rate risk. Further research will be aimed at developing a conception for the development of pension provision in Ukraine in the post-war period, taking into account the legal, financial and organizational foundations for the introduction of mandatory accumulative pension provision.

Quality of Life of the Population of Ukraine: State, Trends, Prospects (p. 328 - 334)
The aim of the article is to study the state of quality of life of the population of Ukraine under martial law, to determine the main trends and prospects for its post-war development. The article identifies and analyzes the main components of the quality of life of the population on the basis of generalization of various scientific approaches, taking into account the availability, relevance and accuracy of statistical data. Several scientific approaches to the essence and components of the quality of life of the population are reflected: all these approaches are united by the understanding of the quality of life as a dualism of external factors and one’s own subjective assessment. The main groups of indicators of the quality of life of the population, on the basis of which the integral indicator can be calculated, are defined: demographic, incomes of the population, employment and unemployment, educational services, access to medical services, housing conditions, environmental. On the basis of the above mentioned groups of indicators, analytical and statistical data are analyzed and the problems are allocated. The biggest problem for Ukrainians, which affects and exacerbates problems in other areas, is the ongoing war, and our victory is a starting point for the restoration, development and improvement of the quality of life of the population of Ukraine. Significant obstacles to the development of the quality of life of the population are problems related to demography and the economy. Demographic problems are associated with the decline in the population of our country as a result of migration, the deaths of military and civilians in combat zones, attacks by missiles and Shahed drones of peaceful Ukrainian cities, the aging of the nation, and a decrease in the share of young people. Economic problems are caused by rising prices, inflation, a decrease in the purchasing power of the population, the destruction or closure of small and medium-sized businesses, and the loss of large industrial enterprises in the south and east of Ukraine. In the period of post-war reconstruction of Ukraine, there is a prospect and forecast for the growth of most components of the quality of life of the population, though this process requires a number of measures, implementation of practical actions and social programs. First of all, it is necessary to develop the economy and labor market, support young people and small and medium-sized businesses. Secondly, it is necessary to direct the efforts of the State and relevant institutions to the development of education, culture and the social sphere in general. We should not forget about the development of the housing stock, improving the living conditions of citizens and ensuring environmental safety. All this is possible under the condition of high-quality interaction between the State, business and society.

Subsidizing Housing and Communal Services and Social Stability of the State: The Theoretical and Problematic Aspects (p. 335 - 341)
The problems of subsidizing housing and communal services in the context of ensuring the social stability of the State are considered. It is substantiated that subsidizing housing and communal services is a key tool of social policy, which allows to ensure the availability of basic communal services for socially vulnerable strata of the population. This helps to reduce social inequality and improve the standard of living of citizens. The tasks of social policy in the context of ensuring a decent standard of living of the population are analyzed. It is also argued that subsidies are a significant burden on the State budget, so it is important to find a balance between social support and financial stability of the State, since an increase in the volume of payments to the population may cause inflationary pressure, which will reduce the purchasing power of citizens and the efficiency of subsidies. The key aspects of such subsidizing are studied, in particular its impact on economic inequalities, efficiency of public funds, financial and ecological sustainability. The mechanisms for the distribution of subsidies, the problems of targeting and transparency in their provision are considered. Both the State-based and regional programs are analyzed, which, together with subsidies, reduce the burden of households on paying for utilities and increase energy efficiency in the use of natural resources. A structural diagram of the mechanism of the program of «warm loans» within the framework of the program of cooperation with the State-owned banks has been formed. At the same time, the environmental consequences of subsidies can also lead to certain problems, since reducing energy costs can lead to an increase in resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The positive aspects of the impact of subsidizing housing and communal services at the macro and micro levels, as well as the directions of the impact of subsidies on the social stability of the State, are allocated.

Analyzing the Status of Non-State Pension Insurance in Ukraine (p. 237 - 251)
This article is devoted to the study of non-State pension insurance in Ukraine. With the use of system and synergetic approaches, as well as methods: analysis and synthesis, balance, graphic, induction and deduction, monographic, comparative, statistical, tabular and content analysis, a study was carried out in order to assess the status of non-State pension insurance in Ukraine and to disclose its features and priorities for further development at the present stage of implementation of pension reform. The list of financial institutions involved in the implementation of the mechanism of non-State pension insurance has been determined, and the system of their relations has been disclosed. The features of the activities and responsibilities of the main subjects of non-State pension insurance are highlighted, the basic indicators of the functioning of non-State pension funds are analyzed. It is found that non-State pension insurance has not been able to attract a significant number of participants, and the investment financial instruments available in Ukraine severely limit the possibility of diversifying risks and obtaining investment income higher than inflation. It is determined that one of the important directions of development of non-State pension insurance is to promote the involvement of more banking institutions and insurance companies in this area, as well as to create favorable legislative and tax conditions for their effective interaction within the entire system of non-State pension provision. At this, the authors believe that non-State pension insurance is really able to minimize the negative impact of harmful demographic and other risks associated with the deterioration of the general economic situation in Ukraine in the conditions of the war unleashed by Russia, and become a prerequisite for maintaining a decent standard of living for citizens upon reaching retirement age and a source of long-term investment resources that are necessary for the economic development of our country.

Labor Force Shortage in Ukraine: Causes and Ways to Overcome (p. 252 - 258)
The publication examines and analyzes the main factors of deterioration of the situation in the labor market of Ukraine and focuses on the problem of labor force shortage in conditions of imbalance and uncertainty in the labor market. The subject of the research is the tendency of transition from the excess supply of labor force along with high unemployment, which has formed in the labor market of Ukraine, to the high level of unsatisfied demand for vacancies, which numerous experts assess as a shortage of labor force. The aim of the article is to determine the nature of the problem, causes, degree of acuteness, prospects for development and measures to overcome. The scientific novelty lies in the substantiation of the shortage of labor force as a local phenomenon that has the character of a tendency that is constantly present in the Ukrainian labor market in various quantitative values, individual professional niches and territories. From the methodological point of view, the demand for labor force is analyzed in correlation with the dynamics of tension in the labor market, and in empirical terms, the basis for its study was the information selected according to special criteria from various organizations that are constantly engaged in the recruitment of personnel in the labor market or comparative analyses of labor demand and supply. A comprehensive study of the labor market of Ukraine is carried out and numerous evidences are provided that the labor force shortage, which has been formed for several years under the influence of objective and subjective reasons and exacerbated during the wartime, is threatening, while the country has considerable untapped labor reserves. A set of signs of the real presence of a shortage of labor force has been identified and substantiated. The possibilities and actual ways to overcome the imbalances between the demand for labor force and its supply are shown. In the context of identifying the causes of the labor force shortage, the sources of possible coverage of the personnel shortage have been identified. It is concluded that the key factors in covering the personnel shortage are the reserve sources of labor, considered by the authors according to three aspects: factors of formation, professional structure, and efficiency of use.

Changes in the Demographic Situation in Ukraine During the Wartime and Their Impact on Social Policy (p. 259 - 269)
The article examines the profound and complex demographic changes that are taking place in Ukraine as a result of the full-scale war that began in February 2022. The study focuses on four main aspects of demographic processes: birth rate, mortality rate, migration and population structure. Each of these aspects is analyzed from the point of view of the impact of the war on their dynamics and long-term consequences for the socioeconomic development of the country. In particular, the author focuses on a significant decrease in the birth rate, which is the result of the complex impact of economic uncertainty, psychological stress, deterioration of living conditions and destruction of key infrastructure facilities. As for mortality rate, the article emphasizes that its increase is primarily due to the direct consequences of hostilities, such as the deaths of civilians and soldiers. The economic instability caused by the war is forcing many families to postpone having children, leading to a deepening demographic crisis that began even before the war. Migration processes have become one of the most tangible demographic consequences of the war. The forced evacuation of the population, both internal and international, has significantly changed the demographic map of the country. Mass migration of young people and the working-age population, on the one hand, weakens the economic potential of Ukraine, and on the other hand, creates significant challenges for countries hosting refugees. The article examines not only quantitative, but also qualitative changes that occur as a result of the displacement of a significant part of the population. Changes in population structure are another important aspect explored in the article. The loss of a young and able-bodied population, the aging of the nation, and the change in the gender and age structure of the population can have long-term negative consequences for the future development of the country. The author underlines that without proper State policy aimed at the return of refugees, stimulating the birth rate and improving living conditions, these changes can lead to further deterioration of the socioeconomic situation. In conclusion, the article emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to solving the demographic challenges caused by the war and the importance of developing effective strategies to ensure the social and economic stability of Ukraine in the context of post-war recovery. This approach includes creating conditions for the return of refugees, supporting economic activity, investing in the restoration of destroyed regions, as well as developing social policies that take into account new demographic realities.

Migration Security in Ukraine: Risks, Threats, and Prospects for Overcoming (p. 269 - 276)
The aim of the article is to identify the risks and threats to migration security in Ukraine under martial law, as well as to develop promising directions for overcoming them, taking into account the realities of today. The article presents the author’s vision of the definitions of the concepts of «migration security», «migration challenges», «migration risks», «migration threats», identifies the characteristic features and differences of migration security, including: coverage of migration security as a component of national security, multi-level, multi-vector migration security and migration policy, the need for constant monitoring and assessment of risks and threats. An analysis of migration trends in the context of wartime realities is carried out, migration risks and threats that affect the economic, social, demographic, and educational spheres are characterized. In particular, these are: a decrease in the birth rate and a deepening of the aging of the population, the risk of deterioration in the qualitative composition of the population (demographic sphere); loss of highly skilled workforce and intellectual potential, departure of young people abroad (educational sphere); loss of labor potential, shortage of labor force in certain types of economic activity and specialties, relocation of business and withdrawal of assets abroad (economic sphere); a drop in the purchasing power of the population in Ukraine and a deterioration in well-being, the risk of a negative impact of immigrants on the national composition of the population of Ukraine and stability in society (social sphere). The priorities of ensuring migration security in Ukraine are substantiated, including: neutralization of negative emigration factors; overcoming immigration challenges; regulation of territorial movements of the population within the country and abroad; combating illegal migration; conducting an effective policy for the protection of Ukrainians abroad; re-emigration of Ukrainians. Promising directions for ensuring migration security in Ukraine are proposed, including: development of comprehensive programs for re-emigration of Ukrainian citizens; attraction of international sources of support; cooperation with international organizations in the field of studying the problem of migration security; improvement of institutional support of migration policy; monitoring of migration processes.

Quality of Working Life of Ukrainian Youth in the Context of Transformational Changes (p. 277 - 284)
The aim of the article is to determine the directions, content and instruments for developing the quality of working life of young people in the context of transformational changes. The understanding of the concept of «youth», its age characteristics and approaches of different sciences are reflected. For instance, sociological science considers young people as a sociocultural group; political scientists consider young people to be an innovative resource for the development of society and the country, and psychologists argue that young people are a group with inherent psycho-physical features of growing up. The key components of the quality of life of modern youth are substantiated – it is proposed to include both objective (satisfaction of personal needs, biological and social factors) and subjective (satisfaction with one’s own working life) components. The youth legislation and the foundations of the State youth policy in our country are considered, which allows us to understand the level of development of relations between the State and society in terms of the impact on improving the quality of life of young workers in general and the quality of working life in particular. An analysis of the results of the survey on the problems of youth in modern conditions is carried out: the biggest problems were the lack of health and a decrease in the level of labor income. Income is the most effective instrument for the use of labor potential and, accordingly, a factor in providing opportunities for development and self-realization of a young person both in social and labor aspects. Among other problems, physical security and reduced opportunities for labor self-realization were also noted. The key trends in the labor market and transformations of social and labor relations under the influence of martial law are indicated, as young people are looking for work and act mostly in the same labor market as other categories of the population, and also are affected by general changes. On the basis of the considered statistical data and studies of Ukrainian scientists, it is found that there is a negative dynamics of the quality of working life of young people in most sectors of employment (with the exception of the IT sphere and some other areas of activity). Objective problems of the quality of working life of young people are: a decrease in the level of income, shadow employment, the inability to fully implement government measures to support young people due to martial law, and many others. Measures to stabilize the quality of working life of young people under martial law and its improvement in the post-war period of Ukraine’s recovery are proposed, the implementation of which is possible with the cooperation of the State, business, society and young workers.

Platform Employment as an Instrument for Overcoming Labor Shortage and Human Capital Development (p. 285 - 292)
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.
