Abstract
The gender studies are extremely important for many countries in terms of the present. The characteristics and dynamics of gender inequality in the context of socio-economic development of the country and its regions require deep study in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is a study of gender-sensitive employment opportunities through comparison of men and women in obtaining employment, income, education, career growth for identifying ways mitigate gender inequality among workers, improve regulatory policy in the labor market. The gender - a category that reflects social gender, due to social structure, that based on the biological differences between men and women. The ideal of gender equality means that women and men should have the same social status, the same conditions for the realization of all human rights, the same opportunities to contribute to national political, economic and social development and to use its results. Over the past two decades, Ukraine managed to achieve significant improvements in establishing key principles of legislative and institutional gender equality. The analysis of the dynamics of Ukraine's population by gender, GDP comparisons with macroeconomic characteristics typical for Ukraine was made by the authors. The employment dynamics of the Ukrainian population by gender was analyzed in the period 2010-2015. Besides the data on the distribution of civil servants, managers and specialists on gender were systematized and processed in the article. However, the introduction of gender equality in the daily lives of Ukrainian society is a complicated and lengthy process that should include objective assessment of the current state in this area, both at the state and regional level. The results of the analysis deepen scientific understanding of the existence of gender issues in employment Ukraine. These problems are to some extent limited employment opportunities for women, their prospects for career growth, income and social security (unlike men). Addressing gender inequalities requires economic changes in social policies, which include changes in labor and social legislation to strengthen social protection targeting the most vulnerable, regulatory measures in the area of wages, consistent support further development of women entrepreneurship and self-employment.
