significant impact on the social and labor spheres, as under their influence, both the
structure and the content of social and labor relations change [1, p.4].
The International Labor Organization (1988) Convention on the Employment
Promotion and Protection against Unemployment stipulates that the acceding States
“will, by all appropriate means, implement a policy of promoting full, productive and
freely chosen employment through all appropriate means, including social security.
Such means should include, among other things, employment services, vocational
training and professional orientation” [2]. This suggests that the state should implement
its employment policy in such a way that it can ensure the right of every person to
freely choose of any form or type of employment, despite the rapid development of the
flexibility of the labor market and the emergence of new employment forms.
It should be noted that the lack of active state policy concerning the support of the
latest trends of the development of the sphere of employment leads to the formation of
a relatively new problem for the Ukrainian society, namely the problem of actualizing
the risks of socio-economic rejection of workers.
The solution of the employment issues is related to overcoming the negative
impact of certain socio-economic factors on the state of employment of the population,
which is the result of existing risks of economic and social development of the country
at the present stage and the existing shortcomings in the implementation of reforms.
The prerequisite for their solution is the definition of the main directions of
implementation and priority tasks of state employment policy in the context of carrying
out socio-economic reforms in the country and developing of a set of measures
concerning state regulation of employment in accordance with these tasks [3, p.9].
One of the main problems of implementing state employment policy is that the
principles of the Law of Ukraine “On employment of population” requires from state
bodies to implement active social and economic policies through: tax, monetary,
investment, budget, social, foreign economic and innovation policies [4, p. 15-16], in
Ukraine the state employment policy is mainly concentrated on the issues of the State
Employment Service and the Ministry of Social Policy. The results of the analysis show
that the employment situation is not connected with the components of macroeconomic
policy, investment, monetary, foreign economic, tax and budget policies.
When defining state employment policy, it should be borne in mind that this is a
rather complex and voluminous category. State employment policy includes a huge
number of factors that in one way or another affect some of its characteristics and
determine the target orientation. Definite influence on state employment policy has the
political system of society. In addition, the structure and content of the state
employment policy is formalized by legal system that defines its main parameters
(legal status of subjects, principles of implementation, limits of state intervention,
measures of liability for offending behavior, etc.). At the same time, the quality of legal
