The regional labor market as a system of social relations with the agreed interests of employers and employees within the region is an important object of state regulation. It is established that the main task of the state in the regulation of the labor market is to develop certain "rules of the game" and to ensure their observance. These "rules of the game" should be the basis of the state policy of labor market regulation at both Federal and regional levels. The author's position is that the labor market regulation policy as a structural element of the regional socio-economic policy has the following structure reflecting its content: purpose, objectives, subject, object, principles, methods, tools, planes of interests and expected effects. Factors such as organizational, economic, legal and resource factors influence the development and implementation of labor market regulation policies. The essence of the policy of labor market regulation is revealed in the author's definition as a set of principles, methods and tools aimed at balancing and realization of multidirectional interests of the authorities and management bodies, local governments, representatives of workers and employers, educational organizations, research and development, civil society institutions, in order to ensure effective employment of the population and to solve the unemployment problem, taking into account organizational, economic, legal and resource factors.

This article aims to provide an analytical and critical reading of the state of knowledge on legislation relating to employment protection (EPL) and its impacts on unemployment, jobs creation, productivity and more generally efficiency of the labor market. We show that the construction of indicators of EPL adopted by the OECD is incomplete and does not take into account local specificities of each labor market. We also show that the dominant idea among liberals that any regulations impeding freedom of the labor market generates unemployment and loss of effectiveness is not so obvious to verify empirically and can even be contradicted. In this analysis, we rely on a critical review of theoretical and empirical studies which have examined the effects of EPL. We also discuss some alternatives such as bonus-malus system or the single contract that have been put forward to address the limitations of a relatively strict EPL.

In this article, the author revealed that in the modern world, national states function in conditions of high uncertainty, disequilibrium and risk, which increases the relevance and role of the security component in public administration. It is established that ensuring economic security is one of the fundamental criteria for the effectiveness of the state as a subject of social relations, since in the economic system a necessary material basis is created for the social and demographic development of the country. In turn, it is clarified that the social and demographic spheres are critically important for economic development as sources of reproduction of human and social capital. Based on the results of the analysis of data from international indices that reflect Ukraine’s economic position among the countries of the world, it has been clarified and proven that the influence of the main instruments of state regulation on the country’s economic security is positive in the sphere of education and vocational training and negative in the areas of the labor market, freedom of business, health and security.The state has a low level of stability, which is most influenced by indicators of the social state of society and cohesion policy related to the functioning of the security apparatus, the presence of a split in the elite in society, social policies for vulnerable groups, in particular internally displaced persons, external intervention. In general, the influence of the main instruments of state regulation on the economic security of the country can be considered positive in the sphere of education and training and negative in the labor market, freedom of business, health and safety.Existing international databases allow only relative dynamic characteristics of the influence of state regulation instruments on economic security in the social and demographic spheres. Taking this into account, the prospects for further scientific research encompass the development of theoretical and methodological bases for assessing the impact of certain instruments of state regulation of economic security in the social and demographic spheres for the benefit of society and economic growth.

This paper assesses the recent progress and future direction of labor policy in the European Community, now the European Union. The authors show that most of the mandates foreshadowed under the December 1989 Community Social Charter have now been enacted into law. They analyze the possible costs, as well as the benefits, of these firstphase mandates and show the link between these adjustment costs and the Community's policy of providing subsidies to its poorer member states. They also demonstrate how the new Treaty on European Union, agreed to at Maastricht in December 1991, has increased the scope for Community-level labor market regulation.
