LABOR SURPLUS AND YOUTH EMPLOYMENT IN RURAL AREAS OF UKRAINE: CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES, SOLUTIONS

Анотація

The article examines structural factors of labor surplus in rural Ukraine and their implications for youth employment. It shows that technological modernization of agriculture, industrial decline and demographic change cause persistent worker displacement and increase unemployment risks for young people. The role of labor migration, especially internal migration, as an adaptive response to regional labor imbalances is analyzed. Youth mobility, constrained by weak transport infrastructure, limited jobs and low wages, is insufficient to compensate these imbalances. The lack of a diversified industrial and service base in rural communities restricts job creation. The article highlights the need for managed internal migration, better micromobility and transport accessibility, and incentives for employers to create jobs in peripheral regions, alongside policies that support youth employment and invest in human capital.
