Platform employment and hybrid models of labour relations as a response to the economic and social dangers of military shocks

Abstract

The relevance of the work is due to the challenges faced by the Ukrainian labour market in the context of critical instability. Ukraine is losing human capital as a result of deaths or disability of people in the areas of military operations, as well as due to the displacement of millions of people from the areas of military operations to safer regions of Ukraine or to other countries. The purpose of the article is to identify a promising response to the economic and social dangers of military shocks in the context of preserving human capital in Ukraine during the war and restoring the labour market in the post-war period. Research methods. The study was conducted using system analysis, structural and functional analysis, and expert assessments. The analytical assessment was based on data from international organizations and opinion polls. Results of the study. The author proposes ways to improve regulatory policy in the field of employment by modifying traditional models of labour relations. The author identifies nonstandard forms of employment that can most effectively harmonise the situation in the Ukrainian labour market. The article considers the use of such non-standard forms of employment as hybrid models of labour relations and work on digital platforms. The author outlines the prospects of their use for persons returning to civilian life after discharge from military service for health reasons, for internally displaced persons, migrants and persons who have left Ukraine.
