The military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine caused large-scale challenges in both the short and long run, as the consequences of the war are the destruction of the demographic and labor resource base of socio-economic development, and the aggravation of the risks of shortages in labor force for the needs of postwar reconstruction. Despite the positive changes in 2023, the state of the labor market will remain unbalanced for a long time, because amid the employment growth, territorial, educational and qualification disparities are deepening, which keeps unemployment at a high level and exacerbates difficulties in finding qualified employees. An urgent task is to determine the possibilities of overcoming or minimizing the impact of these destructive processes.
Using desk analysis methods, the scientific principles of the formation of social and labor sphere stability (resilience) are substantiated, and the priority directions of their introduction into the practice of public administration are determined. In the absence of official statistical data on labor force parameters and labor market, indirect assessment methods are used based on available administrative data, materials of international organizations, results of sociological surveys, etc.
Resilience is interpreted as the ability of the social and labor sphere to prevent, counteract or withstand with less losses in cases where threats and crises are long-lasting and completely insurmountable; at the individual level – as the ability of the labor force to quickly adapt to dynamic changes in the labor market, acquiring new positive qualities. It is proposed to consider the phenomenon of resilience on the basis of interdisciplinary approach using three constructs: risk factors (stressors), protective factors and vulnerability factors, the interaction of which shapes the development trajectory of socio-economic system.
It is concluded that resilience should be understood not simply as an ability, but as action strategy for the acquisition and development of the necessary properties at the individual and institutional levels; the priority directions of ensuring the resilience of the social and labor sphere in the context of the needs of the postwar economic development of Ukraine are outlined.
