Abstract

In the article, the authors aim to analyze the prospects and problems of the labor market caused by the epidemic. The authors emphasize that the pandemic has a great impact not only on production processes and on human economic life, but also significantly changes the structure of the labor market and forms of employment. To the factors traditionally characteristic of the labor market, serious structural changes have been added, expressed in the curtailment of some industries and types of activity and the expansion of others, the emergence of new professions, the establishment of new forms of employment, changes in the quality of services, making them more personalized, etc. The pandemic makes new demands to workers, leads to the proliferation of “uber-models” of hiring to solve a specific problem, prioritizes remote work (distance employment) and the predominance of temporary employment. The authors note that changes in the labor market should be under the control of the state.
