Aim: The present study was designed to examine relationships between young people’s self-concepts and their perceptions of their futures Methods: High school students (n = 347) completed measures of the two domains of self‑concept, the evaluative domain, self-esteem, and the knowledge or structural domain, self-concept clarity. They also completed two measures of perceptions of their futures, optimism and future time perspective. Results: Both measures of self-concept were positively correlated with both measures of perception of the future. For both measures of perceptions of the future, regression analyses found that when perceptions of the future were regressed onto the two measures of self-concept perceptions of the future were significantly related to only self-esteem. Relationships between perceptions of the future and self-concept clarity were not significant. Analyses of mediation found that self-esteem mediated the relationship between self-concept clarity and both measures of perceptions of the future. Conclusion: Young people with a clearer sense of self and who have higher self-esteem are more optimistic and perceive a longer future than young people with a less clear sense of self and who have lower self-esteem; however, the effects of self-concept clarity disappear after the relationship between clarity and self-esteem are taken into account.

The aim of this work is to investigate learning motivation peculiarities of rural unemployed people that are unready for labor market. Research object – learning motivation. Research methods: analysis of scientific literature, anonymous questionnaire survey, qualitative and statistic data analysis. Chi square criteria (χ2), significance level p < 0.05 are applied for comparison of results. 76 people unready for labor market in Šakiai region participate in this research: 32 of them are young people under 25 years of age, 18 – returnees from imprisonment, 26 – disabled persons; 36 men and 40 women. Majority of respondents have secondary education, however, only 11.1 % of all returnees from imprisonment are in this group. The researched of all the three groups give preference to the second – modern definition of career. Labor Exchange Office or their own decisions have impact on the respondents mostly. It is worth pointing out that Labor Exchange Office has stronger impact on the disabled (57.7 %) while the youth under 25 tend to decide themselves (53.1 %). Other factors do not have significant influence. The first four learning motives are the most significant to all the three groups of the researched, the least attractive motives are „I am studying for prestige“ and „Random circumstances determined intention to study“. It is unexpected that the motive „I intend to go to further education “is of little importance for the young people. People with disabilities and former prisoners have stronger motivation to learn than unemployed young people under 25 do. Hypothesis is only partly approved – the differences between the groups are not significant and statistically unreliable.

Aim. A quantitative study on generational differences showed a decrease in optimism among the young generation (Karaivanova, 2016). The present work aims to study in detail the relationship between individualistic values, self-esteem, and optimism among the Millennial generation. Optimism is a general expectation for positive results and positive events in life (Radoslavova & Velichkov, 2005). Method. A sample of 204 respondents from 20 to 35 years old voluntarily filled in a survey containing scales measuring individualistic values, self-esteem, and optimism. The relationship between these variables was tested using regression and mediation analyses. The results were processed using the statistical software SPSS, version 22.0.0.0, and the lavaan application in R Studio. Results. The theoretical model created and tested in this study proved to have good explanatory power for the dependent variable optimism explaining one-third of its variance and gives significant clarity on the relationship between individualistic values, self-esteem, and optimism for the young generation in Bulgaria. Conclusion. Individualistic values turned out to predict self-esteem. The more individualistic a person is, the higher they perceive their competences and social image. At the same time, being individualistic, i.e. being open for change and following one’s own interests does not make young people look more optimistically towards the future and believe in the solution of every problem they encounter. Individualistic values have a positive mediated effect on optimism with self-esteem as a mediator. Having strong self-confidence makes young people have positive expectations for the future.

The definition of capitalist exploitation that I put forth was as follows. Let a society be divided into a coalition S and its complement S’. S is exploited and S’ is exploiting if: (1) S would be better off if it withdrew with its per capita share of productive, alienable assets; (2) S’ would be worse off if it withdrew with its per capita share of productive, alienable assets; and (3) S’ would be worse off if S withdrew from society with its own assets. Call this the property relations (PR) definition of exploitation. I favored the PR definition over the traditional approach, which focuses upon the relationship between capitalist and worker mediated by a labor market and consummated at the point of production, because the classical approach fails to locate the source of exploitation in the unequal and unfair distribution of the productive assets.

In this paper we analyze how corruption affects the shadow labor market and describe the facts of the relationship between corruption and the factors shaping shadow employment. Confirmation of relationship between the spread of corruption and shadow employment in Ukraine is the objective of this investigation, and its results are presented in this paper. In order to achieve the set goal, the authors developed scientific tasks to determine the factors stimulating shadow employment and to carry out correlation and regression analysis of the relationship between the Corruption Perception Index in Ukraine and the indicators stimulating the growth of shadow employment in Ukraine. Despite the absolute negative effect of the excessive spread of both corruption and shadow labor market on national economies, the authors suggest that corruption is an impulse for the growth of shadow labor market. The paper is based on the hypothesis that the individual motivation for participation in undeclared labor activities is of common interest for both employers and employees. Therefore, the authors describe the spread of the shadow labor market by means of indicators, which form shadow employment from the sidelines of supply and demand in this market. Thus, it is defined that the factors that form the shadow labor market from the supply sideline include: the level of unemployment; the level of migration; the level of wages and social security. The factors that form shadow employment from the demand sideline include: the level of tax burden on wages; staff turnover and the dynamics of the population level. The carried out regression analysis between the indicators of corruption and the factors that form shadow employment on the demand and supply sidelines shows that corruption has a significant impact on the level of unemployment in Ukraine, labor external migration, the level of poverty among the working population, the level of social protection and the level of tax burden. Therefore, the reduction in the corruption level will have a significant impact on the socio-economic indicators that incite shadow employment from both demand and supply sidelines on the unregistered labor. Our conclusions indicate that in order to improve the socio-economic indicators of economic development, which have an impact on the spread of the shadow labor market, the Government first of all should reduce the level of corruption in the economy.

The main objective of this research consists in studying psychosocial aspects of the relationship that is established between the level of the quality of self image and self-esteem in adolescents. Self-esteem play an important role in the self image of teenagers and young people. Teenagers with a high level of self-esteem have clear and stable views about themselves, talk about them in a consistent, positive way. Teenagers with a low self-esteem have the feeling that they do not know too well each other and talk about them in a unreliable and ambiguous way. They are also pretty reserved in initiating social contacts.

The purpose of the article is to consider of youth segment in the labor market, to study the dynamics of youth employment in recent years and to develop proposals for improving the state of youth employment in Ukraine. Current trends in youth employment and unemployment in the labor market are analyzed. In the process of analysis, such methods of scientific research as analysis and synthesis, comparison and generalization were used, which made it possible to ensure the validity of the study. Based on the results of youth employment issues analysis, the main problems faced by young people in finding a job (specific problems in the youth segment of the labor market) are determined, namely: imperfection of the legal framework that regulates labor relations; young people after graduation cannot put their skills and abilities into practice; imbalance in the professional and qualification structure of the labor supply, which does not correspond to the demand in the labor market; lack of professional experience among young people; gender inequality by sex and age; labor migration due to the non-competitiveness of wages in Ukraine compared to wages in Europe. For a systematic solution to the problems of youth labor market, it is necessary to improve the existing mechanism for increasing the level of youth employment, thereby a new impetus will appear for the development of the Ukrainian economy. The main directions of improving the state regulation of the youth segment of the labor market in Ukraine are proposed, namely: the creation of effective interaction between public employment agencies, business and education. An improvement and systemic implementation of the mechanism for increasing youth employment will reduce the outflow of labor force abroad and ensure the competitiveness of the national economy in the long term.

The article deals with the theoretical and methodological foundations of the labor market, its social and economic content, in particular, the subjects, the structure of the labor market and features, that distinguish it not only from the markets of goods and services, but also from the markets of other factors of production. An important feature of the labor market is that, like all other types of the market, it directly depends on the market situation, i.e. the ratio of supply and demand, which is formed depending on the state of the economy (rise or fall); branch structure of the economy; level of technical base development; well-being (income level of the population, including per capita income), development of the market for goods and services, housing, securities; state of social infrastructure; the development degree of the multistructure of the economy; measures to develop integration links (sectoral and territorial). In addition, it is influenced by demographic, ethno-social, political, environmental and some other factors. Depending on the relationship between supply and demand, the labor market situation can be of the following types: labor-deficit, when the labor market lacks labor supply; labor surplus, when there is a large number of unemployed in the labor market and, correspondingly, an excess of labor supply; equilibrium, when the demand for labor corresponds to his proposal. Various theoretical and practical approaches to the definition of the essence of the concept of “labor market” of domestic and foreign researchers are analyzed. The concept of “social and economic content of the labor market” is formulated and the author’s interpretation of the economic category “labor market” as an object of regulation under the conditions of the formation of a socially-oriented economy is scientifically grounded.
