THE WORLD PRACTICE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE SUBJECTS OF LABOR MARKETS AND EDUCATION IN THE SYSTEM OF PRODUCTIVE YOUTH EMPLOYMENT

Ukrainian youth have a high level of education, which is highly competitive to that of developed countries. However, due to a number of socio-economic problems, Ukrainian youth are constantly poised on the brink of social exclusion from the workplace. The main problem of young people is difficulties in finding a job and lack of opportunities for self-realization. Every second person is inclined to think that abroad they could quickly and easily achieve success. Unwillingness to engage intelligent, creative and labor potential young people explains their desire to go abroad. Unfortunately today only a third of young people would like to live in Ukraine. Based on the youth policy survey, every eighth feels the lack of attention from the government in involving Ukrainian youth in social and labor sphere. Today, when Ukraine faces serious reforms we should understood that at this moment the youth are the most sensitive to accept new ideas, to spread new knowledge, to adapt to new conditions and could become a generator of implementing the European integration. The government must admit importance of implementing a comprehensive youth policy that will ensure socio-economic, political, organizational, legal conditions for self-determination, intellectual, moral and physical development, realization of creative potential for their own benefit and for the state benefit. The article reviews the international experience of interaction between the subjects of labor markets and education in the system of productive employment of youth.
