The features of using non-standard employment models that are developing on the basis of ICT, in particular remote work, are considered. It is emphasized that remote workers, thanks to the use of new information technologies with access to the Internet, can perform work duties from any place, which allows to reduce social risks. Employees, according to their job duties and work functions, are generally divided into three groups: 1) those who usually work remotely from home or any other place, 2) those who sometimes work remotely, 3) those who never work remotely.
The dynamics of the share of employed individuals who usually work from home in the EU countries is analyzed, their distribution in different European countries by the specified groups is studied. For Ukraine, the potential of remote employment is assessed based on statistical information on the number of employees at enterprises that used computers with Internet access. An analytical assessment of the possibilities of equipping with new technologies and the effectiveness of using them at large, medium and small enterprises of Ukraine is carried out.
The relationship between remote employment and work efficiency is determined based on the results of economic research and sociological surveys conducted both in Ukraine and in other countries of the world. It has been proven that for highly qualified employees, the relationship of this form of employment with productivity is positive. Crises of instability have underscored the issue of adequate adaptation of the national labor market to functioning under uncertainty. Remote employment under these conditions is a tool capable of maintaining social security during crises and acting as a potential for the future development of the national economy.
