Journal Title: Ринок праці та зайнятість населення - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
This article is devolted to the analysis of changes in the labour market and their impact on the process of formation of a middle class in Ukraine. A middle class is viewed as an important precondition for economic growth and social stability in society. However, the number of its representatives is reduced not only in this country but also globally. The article studies essential features of the middle class connected with the labor market, and the functions that this social stratum performs in public life. The peculiarity of the author's approach to the study of the formation of the middle class is the recognition of the fact that this process results from changes in the labor market. The article analyzes modern features and trends in changes in the social and labour sphere, and reveals the nature of the impact of changes in the labour market on the processes of creation of the middle class in Ukraine. It is proved that the main environmental factors that cause shifts in the social, educational, vocational and qualification structure of the labor market give rise to trends of changes in position, structure and parameters of the middle class. The author estimates the parameters of various factors of change (political, economic, social, technological, legal, ecological) by their significance and power of influence. Consideration of new changes in the labour market, and modalities of the mechanism for their implementation will make it possible to identify approaches to the management of this process. It is determined that competition and partnership are the mechanisms for changes in the labour market to impact on the process of formation of the middle class. Creation of conditions for effective pderformance of these mechanisms would contribute to the formation of a powerful middle class in the Ukrainian society
