Author:Suprunova I. V., Zhytomyr Polytechnic State University
Annotation:Methods. During the research, a set of general scientific and specific methods of cognition were used, in particular: methods of logical generalization and scientific abstraction – to clarify the conceptual apparatus of the research; systematic analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction – to identify the specifics of the influence of labor market trends on the state of shadowization of the economy of Ukraine, to identify threats to national security, as well as to systematize the directions of shadowization of the labor market in Ukraine. Results. The main causes of the shadow labor market in Ukraine are analyzed. The features of informal employment are outlined and the threats to the economic security of the country, which are caused by the development and increase in the volume of informal employment, are determined. The main vectors of actions in the policy of deshadowing of the labor market are highlighted. It is well-founded that the state should facilitate the legalization of informal employment in the country, encourage formal employment, regulate the issue of deshadowing the economy, ensure the dominance of the official labor market. Attention is focused on the deshadowing of the labor market as a priority task of the government in view of the emergence of such problems as illegal use of labor, concealment of real incomes, ignoring the conclusion of labor contracts and the development of wages in the form of «payment in envelopes». It was determined that the state policy of deshadowing the labor market should contain two mutually agreed components: administrative and motivational. It was established that the most effective measures of the authorities should be: establishment of clear control over compliance with labor legislation, prevention of manifestations of informal employment and payment of shadow wages, strengthening of responsibility for violations in this area. Among the main tasks, the reduction of the tax burden, balancing the demand and supply of labor force, focusing on the development of small entrepreneurship and others have been identified as the most important. A set of measures aimed at the deshadowing of the labor market in Ukraine is outlined, the need for coordinated activity and cooperation of authorities in terms of reducing and legalizing informal employment in Ukraine is substantiated. Novelty. A set of measures for the deshadowing of the labor market in Ukraine has been determined, the implementation of which will ensure the creation of conditions for raising the standards of decent work as a basis for legalizing labor relations and increasing wages by overcoming the contradiction between a high level of human capital development and an insufficient level of social capital. Practical value. The results of the study can be used in the process of carrying out the policy of economic deshadowing as a component of Ukraine's national security.
