IMPACT OF THE SHADOW ECONOMY ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INCLUSIVE LABOR MARKET

Анотація

The development of an inclusive labor market is important for the countryʼs economic recovery. Overcoming the shadow economy, both at the macro and micro levels, is a guarantee, in part, of ensuring official employment of the population, increasing its economically active part, and reducing the share of unprotected Ukrainians who have shadow employment and are unprotected by labor laws. The purpose of the article is to determine the priorities for the formation of an inclusive labor market in the conditions of shadow employment, martial law and digital transformation of businesses; to indicate the opportunities that a worker with physical disabilities may have if he works in a digitized and official business; to reveal tools and ways to support e-businesses working with a workforce from the inclusive market. To achieve the specified goal, the work used methods of analysis and synthesis, generalization, and comparison, which allowed for a comprehensive study of existing scientific achievements on the issues of inclusive development of the labor market under the influence of the existing shadow economy, to solve the tasks set for scientists, and to outline the prospects for future research on the legalization of employment and overcoming unemployment among the population with physical disabilities. The place of development of an inclusive labor market to overcome unemployment and address issues of social protection of Ukrainians is substantiated. Itʼs noted that shadow employment doesn’t guarantee paid maternity leave for childcare, preferential rest for children, or receiving a minimum old-age pension. The actual percentage changes in the average monthly salary of full-time employees by type of economic activity in Ukraine in 2021, 2024, and 2025 were considered. The practical value of the study lies in the author’s suggestions provided, in particular: in conditions of martial law, there’s a need for additional training of members of society in digital skills and sign language, courses to improve the mental health of Ukrainians, courses on tolerance and integrity; an inclusive labor market in Ukraine requires proper institutional support and understanding by society
