Abstract
The labor market of the Kyrgyz Republic is currently characterized by instability and excess labor in the regions, high unemployment rates and a shortage of qualified labor. The labor market situation has been aggravated by the economic crisis as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under these conditions, we consider it necessary to study the problems of employment, unemployment and labor market development, as well as ways to solve them. The purpose of the article is to identify the main problems in the development of the labor market of the Kyrgyz Republic based on an analysis of trends in its main indicators. The article analyzes the dynamics of the development of the labor market of the Kyrgyz Republic and explores the potential for its development using a systematic approach. The study used general and special methods of economic science: analysis and synthesis, logical generalization, dynamic analysis, graphical method, etc. Based on the results of the study, problems of labor market development were identified, including an increase in the unemployment rate and the number of unemployed, an increase in the imbalance between labor supply and demand, a lack of information on the real scale of labor migration, insufficient measures to increase employment, etc. Based on an analysis of best practices in the field of increasing employment and reducing unemployment, it was proposed: to organize services to promote employment on an ongoing basis; implement an active employment policy; to form a system of high-quality professional education and training of competent personnel; introduce digital technologies into the sphere of employment.
