The article considers the disparities in the development of labour markets in the Volga Federal District. The method for the regions’ typology is proposed, which is based on the analysis of the employed population concentration in the sectors of economy using the index of localization, which allows presenting the labour market of the Volga Federal District as the sum of four segments: agroindustrial, industrial, mixed and service. The comparison of the obtained typology of the regional labour markets with the labour market indicators was carried out based on the analysis of unemployment level and duration, levels of employment and economic activity. According to the results of this comparison, the regions which belong to the group with industrial labour market have the best positions at the labour market. Agroindustrial regions and regions with mixed labour markets, where the share of employment in the primary sector of the economy is large enough, have the greatest level of unemployment and the lowest level of employment. Thus, if the structure of regional labour demand has a large share of agricultural labour force than all other things being equal the risk of unemployment in the region increases.

As unacceptably high unemployment levels persist throughout the OECD so greater attention is being paid to differences in the way regional Labour markets adjust to growth and recession. Comparatively speaking New Zealand has lacked both the conceptual and empirical analyses necessary to build local and regional specific approaches into its active labour market policies - despite the persistence of regional disparities through the post war period. When regional differences are raised for public discussion in New Zealand it is the geographical variations in the unemployment rate that usually receives attention. What this paper shows is that unemployment is merely the surface phenomenon of a condition which is much more deeply embedded in the regional labour markets affected. This is illustrated by constructing a regional labour market profile which measures each of the 14 regions on four separate labour market indicators. When applied at the height of the New Zealand recession in 1991 the profile demonstrated how regions with high unemployment rates not only experience Low labour force participation rates but that when members of the labour force in such regions do find work they work fewer hours and even when fulltime employment is obtained the levels of remuneration are lower than those in the more buoyant regions. The result of these interconnected characteristics of regional labour markets is a series of indirect multipliers which serve to exaggerate and compound the effect of depressed labour demand on weaker markets.

The article considers the results of the analysis of the problem of state regulation of the sphere of employment-prevention, prevention and mitigation of unemployment as a key indicator of the state of the spatial economic system. The subjects of the study are the subject of the Russian Federation – the regional level, the federal district of the Russian Federation – the macro – regional level and Russia as a whole-the macro-level. The proposed approach for solving these problems is based on symmetric models of institutional interaction of supply and demand in regional labor markets and a conceptual scheme for selecting applicants in the system of basic competence modules. The main conceptual and technological tools are: typological modeling of the LM of Russia by methods of nonlinear nonparametric analysis in the R-scaling format, as well as multi-criteria balance technologies for representing and analyzing the interaction of supply and demand on RLM.Examples of the results of mapping the main objects of the constructed factor models in the form of typological planes, which depict the states of the observed objects-subjects of the Russian Federation in the corresponding system of integral indicators

This paper evaluates the unemployment duration and labor mobility using data from the household surveys provided by the National Statistical office (INDEC) for the period 1998 to 2005. The paper aims to understand and explain the evolution and main determinants of labor mobility and unemployment duration, two of the main problems that labor markets present. Unemployment duration is studied in terms of welfare and its determinants by applying stochastic dominance and econometric techniques. Labor mobility is analyzed using conditional multinomial probit techniques in order to evaluate its evolution, the impact of a crisis and the recovery period, that Argentina faced over the period 1998-2005. We found that there was deterioration in welfare measured by unemployment duration especially during the crisis period. We found that human capital played a key role in the unemployment duration and labour mobility. Unemployment duration is higher for people with higher educational levels, which shows that less educated people have lower reservations wages; similar result was found for females and males. The labour mobility results show that more educated people enter easier to formal labor markets which changes during the crisis when their probability of entering to formal labor market reduces; this would suggest that more educated people tend to adjust their wages and push out of the market less educated people. The labour mobility patterns do not reflect inflexibility in labour markets. We conclude that the apparent duality - formal and informal - in the Argentinean labour market which seems to reflect differences in access to productive resources (human capital) outside labour market is the one that determines the integration into labour markets and later labour mobility of a big part of labour force

The decentralization reform in Ukraine began in 2014 and is aimed at implementing the provisions of the European Charter of Local Self-Government, which provides for the redistribution of powers, resources and responsibilities on the basis of subsidiarity. Currently, local governments are endowed with powers and instruments of influence on enterprises located on their territory, but employment and labour market policies remains the prerogative of the central government. For a comparative analysis of the development of regional labour markets in the context of decentralization, labour force survey indicators are more appropriate, since they reflect the actual policy results from the perspective of households. For the 2015–2019 period in most regions of Ukraine, there was an increase in the level of employment and a decrease in the level of unemployment; at the same time, the gender gap in employment has increased in 16 of 25 regions; the sectoral structure of employment continues to stagnate. Some regions have significantly increased the coverage of public works, but this may indicate not the activity of territorial communities, but the lack of stable employment opportunities. Local self-government bodies should play a key role in the formation and implementation of local employment and the labour market policies, their interaction with the state employment service requiring a corresponding transformation.

The article reflects the results of a study of the impact of migration on regional labour markets amidst a decline in the working-age population in Russia. After substantiating the relevance of the issues under consideration, the authors propose a methodological analysis toolkit, the author’s own methodology for calculating the coefficients of permanent long-term external and internal labour migration in regional labour markets, and the coefficient of total migration burden. In addition, the authors provide an overview of the information and statistical base of the study. According to current migration records, data of Rosstat sample surveys on Russian labour migrants leaving for employment in other regions, regional labour resources balance sheets based on the calculated coefficients of labour market pressures, the authors analyzed the impact of migration on the Russian regional labour markets over the past decade. It revealed an increasing role of internal labour migration in many regions, primarily in the largest economic agglomerations and oil and gas territories. At the same time, the role of external labour migration remains stable and minimum indicators of the contribution of permanent migration to the formation of regional labour markets continue to decrease. It has been established that irrational counter flows of external and internal labour migration have developed, which indicates not only an imbalance in labour demand and supply but also a discrepancy between the qualitative composition of migrants and the needs of the economy. It is concluded that the state does not effectively regulate certain types of migration, considering its impact on the labour market. The authors justified the need for conducting regular household sample surveys according to specific programs to collect information about labour migrants and the conditions for using their labour. In addition to the current migration records, using interregional analysis, this information allows making more informed decisions at the federal and regional levels to correct the negative situation that has developed in the regional labour markets even before the coronavirus pandemic had struck.
