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.

In the arenas of federal-provincial relations, labour market policy has long been a contested issue. Labour market policy encompassed a vastarray of changes in its objectives, structure, implementation and administration since the 1960’s. The two primary factors in initiatingchange were an ideological shift to a neo-liberal paradigm from the Keynesian policies of the welfare state, and intergovernmental pressures.Neo-liberal ideologies introduce the notion that supply-side factors together with the dominant demand factors of Keynesian policies can affect the rate of employment. As suggested by Stephen McBride and Peter Stoyko, “the revolution in economic and policy thinking, from Keynesianism to neoliberalism, has been accompanied by policies designed to shrink and/or redefine the role of the state, to liberate market forces from political interference, and to free people from dependency on state-provided social policies.” The consequence of this change for labour market policy has been the promotion of a different type of ‘active labour market policy,’ whereby individuals are more dependent on the market than on the state. The meaning of the term ‘active labour market policy’ in the current marketoriented paradigm is summarized as “the integration of social policy with labour market policy, including various training and workfare and work experience programs.” Neo-liberal ideologies also prompted governments at both levels to create and integrate labour market initiatives with other policy areas, such as education and social welfare policies. This integrated approach creates policy, which transcends departmental boundaries, creating a situation in which the jurisdictional authority of labour market policy is disputed.[...]
