Corruption offences in the labour sector in Ukraine

In the wake of the full-scale invasion in Ukraine, there has been a sharp increase in corruption in all areas of society. As a consequence of recent developments, this increase has been accompanied by new manifestations and forms of corruption violations. Corruption can have a negative impact on all administrative processes, including the basic indicators of economic development. Combined with active hostilities, corruption has had a detrimental impact on all processes in Ukraine. To be specific, there has been a consistent increase in corruption in the labour market that is penetrating new areas and spheres, including the activities of both state and local authorities, as well as businesses. These alarming trends highlight the importance and relevance of this research. The purpose of the study is to analyse the forms and manifestations of corruption in the labour market and the impact of this phenomenon on all participants of labour relations, as well as to identify the most common types of corruption offences in the labour sphere and the main challenges encountered in combating corruption in the labour sphere. Based on the findings, it is important to explore the prospects for solving the existing problems and identify the principles that should guide the implementation of certain anti-corruption actions. In order to achieve this goal, the study used the following methods of scientific knowledge, such as the general philosophical method, the method of system analysis, synthesis, dialectical method, formal legal method, as well as methods of deduction and induction. As a result of the study, we have formed conclusions in accordance with the objective regarding the peculiarities of corruption violations in the labour sector, as well as the main challenges faced when combating corruption in the labour market. We have drawn conclusions about the basic principles that should be followed in order to combat corruption more effectively and provided our own assumptions about the possibilities of counteracting the spread of corruption violations.
