The different factors impact to labour market and change the balance of supply and demand for labour force. In 2023, the employment rate (20-64 age category) increased by 3.6 p.p. compared to 2022 (55.7% compared to 52.1%). However, the national average employment rate is 43.1 per cent, including lower average employment rates in the Southern (35.8%) and Central zones (38.2%), in rural (36.6%) and among women (39.7%). The complex and systemic approaches, comparative analysis of indicators characterizing the labour market conditions, the graphical method and the Beveridge curve were used in order to identify problems and assess the tension in labour market. There are the statistical, administrative data and secondary indicators calculated by the authors. The possibility of employment depending on the existence of vacant worked places is determined based on Beveridge curve model. The complicated situation in labour market is a consequence of the discrepancy between labour relations and market mechanism, including legislative-normative and institutional basis, the system of remuneration, and the presence of labour migration. Based on the obtained results the proposals for increasing the employment level of working age population were elaborated, including by balancing supply and demand in labour force market.
