Abstract:
The article examines the conditions that shape the demand and supply of labor, namely: digitalization of all spheres of life, functioning of the real sector of the economy, natural growth (reduction) of the population; dynamics of migration processes in the country. The destruction of numerous industrial enterprises as a result of military actions on the territory of Ukraine caused a decrease in the overall level of employment and an increase in unemployment. It is argued that the post-war recovery of Ukraine's economy may face labor shortages and economic stagnation. The article emphasizes that the population engaged in economic activity on the territory of Ukraine forms aggregate demand, increasing revenues to the budget, making it possible to implement and raise social standards. External population migration, on the contrary, increases the aggregate demand of other countries. It is noted that the probability of an imbalance in the labor market during the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine can be caused by: the dismissal of certain categories of workers as a result of automation and digitalization; raw material orientation of economic activity; insufficient number of enterprises for processing own grown and mined raw materials; the lack of methodological tools’ development for improving investment attractiveness as a prerequisite for increasing the level of employment and reducing external migration; a weak level of information support for the importance of forming aggregate demand for consumer goods of own production, etc. Ways to balance the labor market in the period of post-war economic recovery of Ukraine, measures to reduce external migration and population depopulation are proposed.
