EDUCATION AS A SUBJECT OF THE UKRAINIAN LABOR MARKET DURING MARTIAL LAW
Full text (pdf)
Language: English
Abstract. An urgent issue is to conduct systematic studies of the education role in the Ukrainian labor market formation and functioning. The study’s purpose is to identify the existing prerequisites and determine directions for the educational sector development as one of the Ukrainian labor market defining subjects. For this, several complex tasks of a comparative analysis of Ukraine’s official statistical data in peace (2021) and war (2022) years are being solved. The general methodological orientation is to identify relative proportions, taking into account the martial law impact on the labor market and the statistical information reliability. Macroeconomic indicators of the Ukraine labor market are studied by the methods of structural and diversified intersectional comparison and statistical analysis of stochastic dependencies under uncertain conditions. Theoretical generalizations of changes in macroeconomic indicators and the interpretation for the future are based on the results of the structural-dynamic analysis. Under martial law, there was a reduction in supply and demand by almost 2 times against the backdrop of a significant increase in market imbalance. According to the results of the statistical data processing, the direction and form of education activation as a catalyst for the recovery and development of the economy of Ukraine are proposed. The initial direction in the current Ukraine labor market is to use the education potential to eliminate the jobs lacking. Providing knowledge to the unemployed to fill existing vacancies remains the education prerogative. The form of implementation of these directions is the diversification of education on the basis of public-private partnerships. The public-private institutional field appropriate adjustment in the form of training and qualification complexes (primarily in the vocational education area) is a step toward the public-private partnerships introduction in other economic sectors. Further research should be focused on finding ways to activate education as the labor market subject of forming quantitative and qualitative parameters. For example, in relation to the required and available qualifications of the unemployed, working conditions, and the level of remuneration.
