METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO IDENTIFYING INDUSTRIAL PRIORITIES OF EMPLOYMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF ASSESSMENT OF THE PROCESS OF ITS RESTRUCTURIZATION

The regulation of the restructuring employment processes that occurs in the course of the development of the economy and the evolution of its structure should be based on the selection of sectoral priorities and be accompanied by an assessment of this process in terms of its compliance with the needs of the development of progressive types of economic activity. In this regard, the problem of elaborating methodological approaches that ensure the orderliness and controllability of the process of restructuring employment, including objectifying the choice of progressive industries and assessing the quality of shifts in the sectoral structure of employment, is highly relevant. The article substantiates approaches to identifying sectoral priorities for restructuring employment based on the criteria of economic efficiency and involvement in the implementation of government programs and also proposes a sequential process for evaluating the quality of shifts in employment based on their compliance with the selected sectoral priorities. Within the framework of the proposed approaches, using the example of the labor market in Kazakhstan, the results obtained are presented, such as a sequence of analytical actions to determine the range of priority sectors, a matrix for identifying sectoral priorities for employment, a scheme for implementing a methodological approach to assessing the quality of shifts in the sectoral structure of employment. On the basis of the proposed approaches, an assessment of the quality of shifts in the sectoral structure of employment in Kazakhstan was carried out and conclusions were drawn about the insufficient correspondence of these shifts to the priorities of the country's economic development.

FOREIGN EXPERIENCE IN CONDUCTING FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE ACTIVITIES OF STATE BODIES

The article deals with the features of conducting a functional analysis of the activities of state bodies in some countries. Over the past decade, functional analysis has been tested and applied as a tool for public administration reform in many foreign countries. The authors have studied various aspects of functional analysis, their historical development, including modern attempts to implement and reform them. Economic problems in many countries in the mid-and late-1990s led to a growing awareness of the link between weak economic activity and weak government systems. The change in the perception of the role of public administration in reform processes occurred at a time when many countries were operating "ascetic" programs. One of the elements of such programs was to reduce the number and role of management structures. Carrying out functional analysis in state bodies is one of the ways to optimize the quantitative and qualitative composition of civil servants, to increase the efficiency of the activities of state bodies. This is a research activity that studies the goals and activities of a public authority, strategy, management structure, and management processes. The authors conducted a functional analysis as a tool for public administration reform. The most important factors that should be taken into account when developing a functional analysis are examined: what goals should be achieved through functional analysis, what type of analysis can be performed, how the analysis process can be managed, and finally, what steps should be taken immediately after the analysis. The article examines and analyzes the international experience of conducting a functional analysis of the activities of a public authority in such countries as Latvia, Moldova, and Singapore.

INFLUENCE OF MEDIA INFORMATION ON THE FORMATION OF PUBLIC OPINION

The media's ability to set the information agenda, to draw the public's attention to several major public issues, is known to be a large-scale and clearly proven influence. People not only get accurate information from the media about important state issues, but they also determine the level of importance of a particular topic based on how much attention is given to that topic in the broadcasting process. The article summarized the idea of the impact of published media information on public life, including the formation of public opinion on any issue, using the method of comparative analysis. Traditional print media emphasize the importance of topics in daily issues with capital letters, while television news conveys the significance of an event through the opening story, length, and attention to detail in the newscast, while new media prioritize online features with the advantage of direct communication. These signs, which are always in use, effectively convey the importance of each topic. In other words, the media can set the agenda by drawing the public's attention to a particular issue that shapes public opinion.
