The work defines goals and objectives of state employment policy at the present stage of economic development characterized by crisis phenomena. The author presents main types of state employment policy and identifies main characteristics and the content of active, passive and moderately passive policy types. The author also carries out the systematization of bodies’ activity of state employment management and highlights the main directions of state employment policy. The article shows the features of the distribution of powers and functions among the employment bodies at Federal, regional and municipal levels. The state employment regulation mechanism is characterized from the point of view of application of different management methods. Economic, organizational, administrative and legislative methods to regulate the employment in a crisis have to adapt to the new conditions. There is a need for improving existing regulatory mechanisms of the labour market and for the development of new ones that meet constantly changing conditions. State involvement should be reflected in the extension of the tools of active employment promotion policy. Special attention should be given to the development of regional target programs to support industry, social protection of the population in the sphere of counteraction to mass redundancies and to ensure sound management of the processes of re-training, reduction of long-term unemployment, the increasing unemployment payouts, and, of course, support small business. This article presents the dynamics of unemployment and the budgetary appropriation for the employment regulation in 2015, which allows to make a conclusion about insufficiency of financing of this direction of state activity and the need to identify hidden reserves to increase the efficiency of the employment management mechanism.

The purpose of the article is to study a unique and planned sphere of life of social and economic society in the regional labor market. As it also covers the market of workforce directly connected to production, the concepts unemployment and workplace safety are important. The loss of work means low quality of life and the instability of the economy for many people. Employment determines the content of important aspects of social development to meet the needs of people in the labor market. The article emphasizes that the main policy of the state in regulating the labor market is the implementation of an employment policy for the entire population that preserves the natural level of employment, does not allow the emergence of cyclical employment, the formation of a “flexible market” that quickly adapts to internal and external changes, allowing to maintain stability and management. This compared to the traditional market creates conditions for flexible employee management in conditions of incomplete working day, temporary employment, replacement. On this flexible market, every citizen, looking for work, is obliged to find a workplace that meets its requests. In the labor market, public policy goes in two directions. Active training and retraining in order to create new jobs, ensuring employment and deliverance from unemployment. This can include events implemented in the framework of programs in our country. Passive is support for unoccupied citizens by providing social benefits. The main methods applied by the state in providing regional employment include stimulating investment in the economy, depending on the specifics of each region, which is the main condition for creating new jobs.

Pension Insurance System

In the Ukrainian economy there is a steady growing trend of the actual values of the indicator «unemployment rate». The main causes of excessive unemployment in the Ukrainian economy are three crises: a) crisis of 2008–2009, caused by the global financial crisis; b) crisis of 2014–2015, caused by the military aggression of the Russian Federation; c) crisis of 2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Economic crises cause a decline in economic activity and falling demand for labor. A particularly negative trend is the growth of unemployment in the age group 35–49. It concentrates the most experienced and highly productive workforce. The Ukrainian economy is receiving a double crisis blow - reduction in production due to the recession and reduction of social labor productivity due to the emigration of the most experienced and highly productive employees. The same problem arises due to rising unemployment in the group of experienced labor aged 50 to 59 years. Once again, there is an urgent need to point out the aggravation of the problem of the deficit of the Pension Fund of Ukraine. After all, the aging of the country's population, rising unemployment and labor emigration cause an increase in the pension burden per employee. This can eventually lead to the collapse of the current pension insurance system. at some stage, a significant part of future retirees, who today in good faith pay contributions to the PFC as employed, will not have anything to pay a pension. On a sectorial basis, the main factors in the growth of unemployment are the decline in production in industry and construction. An increase in capital investment does not lead to a decrease in unemployment. This paradox is explained by the fact that the absolute amount of capital investment in the Ukrainian economy is so small that it does not cause a significant impact on employment growth and unemployment reduction. The main vectors of the state employment policy are: stimulation of industrial production and construction, radical improvement of the investment climate in the Ukrainian economy.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to major changes in the functioning of social systems, including employment. This raises the need for a comprehensive study of the ongoing processes and forecasting their consequences. The subject of this article is the analysis of the remote form of employment scaled due to the 2020-2021 pandemic. The object of the study was the attitude of working Muscovites to the new form of employment. The use of qualitative and quantitative research methodology made it possible to clarify the ambiguity of remote work, to identify changes in the family and professional field that have occurred as a result of the transfer of labor functions to a remote format. The built-in indicators made it possible to assess the attitude towards distance employment, identify changes that have occurred between relatives and colleagues, assess the prospects for the further use of distance technologies, and speak out about the acceptability of remote work. The results showed that, in general, remote work as a new form of employment is accepted, and is considered by many as very convenient for the metropolitan metropolis in connection with significant savings in time and money spent on the road. Most have no plans to move from the metropolis while maintaining distance employment, since Moscow is labeled not only as a place of work and income, but also as a city of opportunities for leisure, development and life. The possibility of moving is considered only in connection with an increase in wages, career growth; in connection with personal and family reasons or with moving from Russia in general, as well as if the situation in small towns is favorable. The results presented in this article may be of interest to researchers dealing with the transformation of the labor market and employment, as well as to specialists from government bodies who are involved in the implementation of state employment policy and in the development system of urban agglomerations.

The Government

The article reveals the directions of government policy in the field of employment, in particular: constant improvement of existing legislation, increasing the purchasing power of the population, preventing the development of unemployment and reducing it, stimulating economic activity, reforming public administration in the field of employment. Factors influencing the employment of the population of the regions: natural–geographical, demographic, economic, social, legislative–legal, political, legal, technical–technological, historical–cultural, ecological. Particular attention is paid to the modernization of the Government Employment Service through the expansion and active implementation of electronic and innovative services. As part of the reform of state employment policy in the of the Government Employment Service, new forms of social services were introduced: educational portal; provision of electronic social services to citizens and employers; institute of career counselor, differentiated approach to clients, taking into account skills, qualifications and provision of targeted services to return them to the labor market; individual plans for the provision of social services and employment. To modernize the civil employment service and determine its role and significance for society, the Strategy for the Development of the Civil Employment Service for 2020–2022 was developed and the service was improved on the basis of the main pillars of service provision, introduction of new approaches to staff work. It is proved that to overcome the employment crisis it is necessary to update the contents of the government employment policy, to shift the focus from payment of unemployment benefits to the creation of modern jobs and facilitate the unemployed to develop their activity and competitiveness in the labor market. In particular, national employment policy priorities, state employment programs, legislation and regulations should be developed at the state level. The entire content of public administration activities to implement employment policy should reflect the full range of active and passive measures of the state in the labor market and apply the most effective methods and techniques of public administration, taking into account the specifics of a particular region. Thus, the activities of public administration bodies to implement an effective employment policy should be aimed at creating more active measures in the labor market, considering the specifics of a particular region and community.
