Shifts in the labour market under sanctions and the necessary directions for its regulation

The authors have attempted to systematize the main factors determining the unprecedented shifts taking place in all spheres of life in the world and especially in Russia. The authors present a scientific analysis and summary of their impact on the structure and dynamics of the labour market. The main directions of the labour market regulation are identified. The authors substantiate the conclusion that the current situation on the Russian labour market is mainly determined by the interaction of factors of scientific and technological digital revolution, reduction of labour resources, consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, Western sanctions and additional mobilization due to a special military operation in Ukraine. The country's labour market is not fully controlled by information; and the ongoing digital employment reform has not solved the problem of improving its information support. The predominant long-term trend on the labour market is a decrease in demand for labour with unstable dynamics of its supply. Structural changes are most prevalent in the key areas of the economy and professional areas of high qualifications. The authors substantiate the tasks and directions of theoretical and scientific-practical development of the problems of transitional labour market of a new type for new territories, improvement of the information base of the complete labour market, improvement of scientific-methodological support of the digital employment reform.
