STATE EMPLOYMENT REGULATION AS THE NATIONAL ECONOMY’ INCENTIVE

The article examines the principles, factors, priorities, risks of formation and implementation of employment regulation state policy in the framework of fulfilling long-term comprehensive incentives for sustainable socio-economic development of Ukraine. Government declarations on the need to increase the competitiveness level of the national economy and producers, to diversify and to modernize the economy in a knowledge-intensive way have been actively implemented recently through the expansion of entrepreneurs’ rights by suppressing social and labor guarantees for employees against the background of insufficient attention to rising up the purchasing power of workers’ and retirees’ broad strata, building up and assisting in the implementation of the workforce’ innovative and knowledge-generating potential, balancing supply and demand in the labor market. This approach increasingly confirms the numerous negatives of the economy’ specialization and export orientation predominantly on resource and raw material and semi-finished products, as well as exacerbates the negative trends of cross-border labor migration. National policy for the employment regulation should be a product of interaction of broad spheres of socio-economic, investment and innovation, foreign economic state policy. It should be a process of collaborating of government institutions and involved social dialogue’ subjects (employers’ representatives, workers, interested public structures) regarding: the implementation of legal principles and priorities of non-shadow safe employment; compliance with standards and guarantees of reimbursement of labor costs, developed on publicly acceptable ideas about the quality of the workforce’ reproduction and a decent level of workers’ welfare; recognition and approval of these standards and guarantees in the organizational and legal documents that formalize social and labor relations; monitoring and control of employers’ and employees’ obligations and rights in the nowadays practice of above-mentioned organizational and legal documents’ implementation, as well as in the processes of the wages’ payment and receipt.
