The article examines the current state of unemployment in Ukraine, the relevance of the study, identifies the main causes and consequences for both the population and the state, reveals the concept of "unemployment" and "unemployment rate". It is determined that unemployment is one of the important socio-economic categories, because, on the one hand, it hinders the production of gross national product - the basis of society, and on the other - does not allow a person to be realized through participation in socially useful work. Using graphical diagrams, the dynamics of the components of the economically active population during 2015 - 2020 was shown. Based on the analysis of statistical data, attention is focused on the risks of impact on the socio-economic state of society and increasing poverty in Ukraine. From the open data, a table was constructed and the unemployment rate in the modern economy was estimated. The need to reduce this level with the help of active state policy is substantiated. The main methods are proposed, the introduction of which will help reduce the number of disabled in Ukraine and reduce the negative socio - economic consequences. It is determined that a necessary condition for balancing the labor market is an active policy of economic development, namely: investment in the country's economy, promoting entrepreneurial activity among the population and regulating the development of existing businesses. Based on the study, the trends of unemployment and the impact on its level of the epidemic situation, in particular quarantine restrictions, were analyzed. It is determined that with the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in the world and in Ukraine, in particular, the situation on the labor market has significantly deteriorated. It is concluded that the issue of unemployment cannot be completely solved, so, despite the measures taken by the state, it is necessary to apply them more actively and implement new effective mechanisms of state regulation to reduce unemployment to a minimum and increase employment in Ukraine.

The issues related to the assessment of the effectiveness of state regulation of employment in the Republic of Belarus in the context of the development of an innovation-type economy are considered in the article. The purpose of this article is to assess the measures of state regulation of the level of employment of economically active population in the Republic of Belarus, based on the use of various forms of continuous education. The state of the cou ntry’s labor market is assessed, which is characterized by the presence of structural unemployment and insignificant volumes of investments directed by business entities to the development of human capital in order to reduce its level. The main legislative acts regulating the order of continuous education of different categories of personnel in the organizations of the country are considered. The concepts of «competitiveness of the individual in the labor market» and «competitiveness of the employer in the labor market» are formulated taking into account the competence approach, which assumes the formation of competencies and qualifications in the process of continuous training that provide the necessary degree of worker’s mobility in the labor market. The peculiarities of state regulation of latent unemployment in business entities of the Republic of Belarus are considered by means of their stimulation to the organization of continuous training of workers. Organizational and legal bases of interaction betwee n regional offices of the State Employment Service, employers and dismissed workers (employee in danger of dismissal) in the organization of continuing education to improve competitiveness and mobility in the labor market are assessed. Recommendations are developed for the personnel management services of organizations related to the use of different forms of continuous training in the process of optimization of the number of staff in the short and medium term within the current legislation of the country.

The national branch of the hunting economy is an integral part of the national economy of the state and plays one of the important roles in the use and conservation of natural resources, which is the necessary condition for further development of the state. It should be noted that during the investigation period the development of the hunting industry is unsatisfactory and is characterized by high level of losses of many hunting farms and low number of hunted animal species. This encourages many national scientists to find the ways to improve the functioning of this area of national economy. Many national researchers, particularly: V. Bondarenko, G. Govda, P. Khoyetsky, R. Novikov, Y. Muravyov, A. Volokh, A. Bashta, V. Burmas, I. Delegan, V. Myronenko, O. Protsiv, I. Sheremeta and others devoted their investigations to the problems and prospects of the development of this field, as well as to the organizational-economic and normative-legal aspects of its functioning, problems of hunting reformation and its state regulation. Most of these researches point out that national hunting industry requires reformation taking into account the successful experience of neighboring European countries. The current state of hunting economy of Ukraine is analyzed in this paper. The main economic indicators of this industry such as: change in the national hunting areas during the investigation period and their distribution among the users of different forms of ownership, the number of full-time employees of the industry and hunters, as well as the number of hunting animal species – the main resource of the hunting economy are considered. The sources of monetary income of hunting farms are given and analyzed. During the process of investigation of the current state of hunting industry, it is determined that its functioning is influenced by many negative factors, causing the loss of many domestic hunting farms. While assessing the current state of the hunting industry of Ukraine, it is found that in order to find the ways for the improvement of this industry efficiency, the comprehensive monitoring of its current state, as well as system investigation of the problems hindering its development are required.

The relevance of the topic of the functioning of the labour market in the conditions of digitalization is due to the need for identifying and accounting for the risks of subjects of labour relations. The author reviews modern literature sources to determine the impact of digitalization on the labour market, identifies the positive and negative manifestations of this impact, defines the concept of risk for subjects of labour relations, and describes its main types and determinants. The correlation and regression analysis of the relationship between the economy and society digitalization index and the unemployment rate shows that the risks are low and the relationship is weak. The risk of unemployment in the context of digitalization is directly related to the level of the flexibility of the labor market and the elasticity of unemployment. In the conclusion, the author describes the novelty of the approach and gives recommendations for the state regulation of the issue.

The Impact

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.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of labor market freedom on state-level cost of living differentials in the USA using cross-sectional data for 2016 after allowing for the impacts of economic and quality of life factors. Design/methodology/approach The study uses two-stage least squares estimation controlling for factors contributing to cost of living differences across states. Findings The results reveal that an increase in labor market freedom reduces the overall cost of living. Research limitations/implications The study can be extended using panel data and alternative measures of labor market freedom. Practical implications In general, the finding that less intrusive government and greater labor freedom are associated with a reduced cost of living should not be surprising. This is because less government intrusion and greater labor freedom both inherently allow markets to be more efficient in the rationalization of and interplay with forces of supply and demand. Social implications The findings of this and future related studies could prove very useful to policy makers and entrepreneurs, as well as small business owners and public corporations of all sizes – particularly those considering either location in, relocation to, or expansion into other markets within the USA. Furthermore, the potential benefits of the National Right-to-Work Law currently under consideration in Congress could add cost of living reductions to the debate. Originality/value The authors extend the literature on cost of living differentials by investigating whether higher amounts of state-level labor market freedom act to reduce the states’ cost of living using the most recent annual data available (2016). That labor freedom has a systemic efficiency impact on the state-level cost of living is a significant finding. In our opinion, it is likely that labor market freedom is increasing the efficiency of labor market transactions in the production and distribution of goods and services, and acts to reduce the cost of living in states. In addition, unlike previous related studies, the authors investigate the impact of not only overall labor market freedom on the state-level cost of living, but also how the three sub-indices of labor market freedom, as identified and measured by Stansel et al. (2014, 2015), impact the cost of living state by state.

The article focuses on regional diversity of the Polish Labor Market from institutional perspective. The Polish Labor Market is geographically diverse in terms of unemployment and employment rates, and also in terms of economic development. At the end of 2013 the difference between the lowest and the highest unemployment rate in the Polish regions was 12.1% (Wielkopolska located in the West Poland has unemployment rate of 9.6% and Warmia - Mazury in the East has unemployment of 21.7%). The question arises whether this difference comes from the structural or institutional sources. The paper describe the character of Polish Labor Market, whereas in the second part, it traces the impact of institutional variables such as real wage, Kaitz index and Gender gap on the regional unemployment rate in 2002–2012 in Poland.

The development of Ukrainian trade organizations in ordinary conditions is characterized by a high degree of inertia. Therefore, when situations that need to change arise, business strategies of market participants also change dramatically. Most often, such transformations are connected with external factors, such as the overall economic crisis, a sharp change in the state “rules of the game” in a particular sector of economic relations, as well as another external factor bond to the occurrence of new serious competitors. The development of organizational and economic mechanism to ensure the innovative development of retail trade, requires comprehensive consideration of internal and external factors of the studied system, the formation of strategies and programs to increase the innovation potential of its participants, their active interaction, increasing the use of innovative technologies, generating ideas and transformations. The article considers the issues related to the impact of business globalization processes on the transformation of business models of trade organizations and their operation strategy, as the degree of trade development indicates the standard of living and the state of the economy and society. The authors of the article suggest that retail organizations adapt to the changes in the macro and micro environment, using innovative components in economic and financial activities, which will ensure their competitiveness and prevent crises. The proposed model of an innovative trade organization allows to identify the goals components of innovation activities, which combine the strategic guidelines of the state regulation and help to improve the economic condition of trade organizations

Legal Forms

One of the most important directions in this context is the problems of organizational and legal forms of development of entrepreneurial activity in agriculture. Effective development of entrepreneurial activity in agriculture is hindered by poor adaptation to market conditions and low investment attractiveness of agrarian production and economic formations, unsystematic and dispersed revenues for modernization of production activities, insufficient state support, imperfection of the organizational and economic mechanism for managing the development of various organizational and legal forms of entrepreneurial activity activities in the agrarian sector. In the historical aspect of the development of entrepreneurial activity there are the following forms: private farms, individual holdings, households, peasant farms, private and state agricultural enterprises, collective farms, in particular peasant unions, agricultural companies, inter-farm enterprises and associations, of various kinds and types societies that are divided in form of association and level of responsibility. The most important of these, which have become accustomed and function in agriculture, are agricultural enterprises, in particular private ones, and households. However, today the state of development of entrepreneurial activity in the agroindustrial complex remains rather complicated and requires complex comprehensive reforms, the main role of which should be owned by the state. That is why among the objects of state regulation a special place should occupy the agrarian sector of the economy and the forms of entrepreneurial activity, in particular the agrarian market and the formation of its infrastructure, which is conditioned by the state regulation. The main problems of the agrarian sector development include the low efficiency of agricultural production and the problem of deformation of price proportions, the solution of which is directly related to the perfection of the infrastructure and mechanisms for regulating the agricultural market. The process of establishing enterprises on the basis of co-operation and their integration with processing enterprises will reflect the interests of agricultural producers and promote their stable and efficient development. The most effective form of co-operation is production, sales and service cooperatives, created on the basis of cooperation of shares and natural forage lands, fixed assets, livestock of animals that unite agricultural producers, households, purchasers, enterprises of the processing industry, various catering enterprises, institutions and organizations. Co-operation, by its very nature, is an economic and voluntary phenomenon. Integration is the next stage of effective economic forms of cooperation among the participants in the agrarian market.
