Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of current problems and trends of unemployment in Ukraine. Statistical data of the state statistics service of Ukraine on the dynamics of the labor force and the unemployment rate over a number of recent years are analyzed. Using graphical analysis, it is shown that the dynamics of the unemployment rate tends to increase, while the number of registered unemployed decreases, which most likely indicates unofficial employment of the unemployed and an increase in the level of the shadow economy in Ukraine. The current state and main factors that cause unemployment are identified, such as: structural shift in the economy; low level of vocational training; deterioration of the demographic situation; low rate of development of the national economy. The positive and negative consequences of the problem of unemployment in Ukraine, which pose a threat to socio-economic destabilization of the country, have been identified. The structure of the unemployed population of Ukraine for reasons of unemployment is presented and analyzed. It is established that the main cause of unemployment is an imbalance in the supply and demand of Labor, which is why the state should implement an active policy of counteraction, the measures of which are primarily aimed at increasing the demand for labor from the public and private sectors of the economy, increasing the competitiveness of the labor force and ensuring that the labor force meets jobs, improving the employment process. Based on the analysis, the main directions for improving the regulation of unemployment in Ukraine are proposed.
