The paper is devoted to the study of trends in the global labor market. The special and general methods are used in the research, namely methods of induction and deduction, comparative analysis, generalization. The variety of migration flows is characterized, which is connected with political, religious, demographic, social, economic, and natural factors. The indicators of international migration are analyzed and systematized. The countries with the largest number of labor force of foreign origin are determined. The main trends of migration processes in the world and European countries are outlined. The migration policy measures of donor and recipient countries are analyzed. The dynamics of changes in the number of Ukrainians abroad in recent years are determined. The prospects for the return of Ukrainian migrants are given.

Gunner Myrdal's Asian Drama was the first serious and somewhat pessimistic study on the postcolonial development prospects of newly independent Asian countries. Since the world is in the grips of covid-19 pandemic and facing disrupted global supply chains, it is worth reflecting on the Asian Drama and rediscovering some of its insights. The rapid growth of Southeast Asian countries at the beginning of the twenty-first century may have proved Myrdal's pessimistic outlook wrong, but his concern over the balance between state and market is still valid as it informs countries in the region that they should be more cautious in pursuing their current industrial policies. This is more so when Keynesian foresight is married to Myrdal's forecast of development and economic growth, the precariousness of Southeast Asia's development prospects post-pandemic is more pronounced.

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the current global labor market is under the influence of the IV industrial revolution (Industry 4.0). The purposes of the study are to assess the risk and impact of cyclical and sudden trends affecting the labor market and, as a result, the forms of labor organization and labor functions of employees. In this regard, authors considers academic theories in the context of conceptualizing the impact of Industry 4.0 on the labor market and labor functions, and identifies long-term trends in the transformation of the professions market. The empirical basis of the study is information prepared on the basis of open statistical data of Rosstat and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, as well as resources of analytical publications and scientific publications, including materials from international organizations, leading consulting companies, global associations, leading educational institutions and other active participants in the global educational environment and labor market experts. The study examined a list of trends affecting organizations, their strategies and business models; describes the impact of trends on the transformation of current professions and the emergence of new ones; the need for skill sets necessary to match these professions has been identified. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the substantiation of the concept shifted in favor of a highly skilled workforce (skills-biased technical change, SBTC) and the theory of displacement of routine labor (routine-biased technological change, RBTC).

Urgency of the research. The formation of mobility takes place within the framework of the corresponding stage of the civilizational development of society, which determines the conditions and factors that affect mobility, including technical and technological development, the moral and psychological readiness of a person to perceive new things that open up to him thanks to new digital, information - communication, communicative and cybernetic technologies. It should be taken into account that along with virtual mobility, physical mobility has also increased due to new opportunities that have become available to broad segments of the population. Target setting. Considering the growing level of academic mobility, it is necessary to consider the readiness for it on the part of teachers and methodologists to work in a multinational, multi-religious, and multicultural educational environment, where foreign citizens from all over the world are students of education. In turn, this also applies to the readiness of the student to study outside the place of residence (in another region - at the national level and in another country – at the international level). Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The issues of modern mobility in general and mobility in the educational sphere as its element are paid attention to by both foreign and domestic scientists, and practicing teachers, among whom we can single out the following: I. Antonenko, G. Kilinicheva, D. Svyrydenko, M. Romanynets, S. Oksamytna, S. Bacci, V. Bertacini, M. Beine, R. Noel, L. Rago, P. Brown, J. Michael, S. E. Gilmer, etc. The research objective. The main tasks of the article are: outlining the role and influence of the modern stage of society's development on the issue of academic mobility; analysis of scientific and pedagogical literary sources regarding studies of academic mobility at the general level and individual factors affecting it; proposals for the integration of national institutions of higher education into the global educational space and provision of return and export mobility as part of academic mobility to improve the quality of domestic education. The statement of basic materials. Modern researchers considered various types of academic mobility, which includes a wide range of factors influencing its application (the influence of socio-economic factors; the satisfaction of the inner “ego” with the opportunity to study at a “fashionable” university; the choice “narrow” specialization, which is not available in every specialized institution of higher education, etc.). On the basis of the results of the analysis of the research conducted by modern scientists on the issue of academic mobility, to offer recommendations on ensuring the possibility of using academic mobility in modern realities. Today, academic mobility at the international level is largely shaped by the global labor market, which is shaped by the activities of transnational corporations and their implementation of international projects in all corners of the world. Also, academic mobility is developing between countries at the regional level, where a regional center of globalization is being formed. As an example – European countries and the European Union. As for academic mobility at the national level, the catalyst here is the uniformity of territorial development. In those countries where this development is uniform and high, the level of academic mobility is consistently low and vice versa. Conclusions. Summarizing the study of academic mobility in modern conditions, the following should be noted. First of all, it is necessary to take into account the moral and psychological readiness for academic mobility of both education seekers and teachers and methodologists. Secondly, the readiness of higher education institutions to integrate into the global educational space. Thirdly, a sufficient level of communicative and language competencies for further communications at the level of a multinational, multicultural, multireligious educational environment, where everything is based on the key positions of human dignity, equality, and tolerance. Thus, there is a need to form new competencies (mobility, communicativeness, foreign language, IT, cyber security, and cyber hygiene) among teachers and students for the possibility of forming both vertical and horizontal academic mobility, because wide cooperation with educational institutions of other countries will contribute to improving the quality provision of educational services at the level of domestic educational institutions, and this, in turn, will raise the general level of domestic education, teachers, pedagogical scientists and the national scientific school as a whole. Ultimately, this should create stable conditions for higher education institutions to increase the level of return and export mobility within the framework of academic mobility.

• Each of three labor market globalization measures is shown to be relevant to a different sphere of policy analysis. • There is almost no reliable evidence, in 40-68 countries, that any of these measures increased rapidly economywide over the past 16-50 years. • National labor markets failed to globalize quickly because within-industry globalization was counterbalanced by large employment shifts towards less globalized sectors. • Economywide policy and institutional adjustments are blunt instruments for responding to labor market globalization. Industry-specific policies are preferable. While work within many industries increasingly involves competition and cooperation with workers in other countries, we show that national labor markets have not necessarily globalized very fast. This is because the most globally intertwined industries have tended to shed workers to less globally connected industries, creating a de-globalizing, between-industry countertrend. We characterize between- and within-industry trends in three measures of labor market globalization over timespans of 16-50 years in 40-68 countries. We also clarify which policy debates each measure is most relevant to. While our results strongly support this globalization within-industries, deglobalization between-industries story, they also underscore how few empirically defensible conclusions can be drawn about trends in some dimensions of labor market globalization. The idea that nations' labor markets have globalized dramatically in recent decades, and that this calls for economy-wide overhaul of policies and institutions, rests on rather little empirical evidence.

The study verified whether or not students of Economics faculty at Saida University are ready to learn English autonomously, as a requirement to enter the global labor market. Result shows that Students are motivated, they are aware of their own and their Teachers' responsibilities, usage of Meta-cognitive strategies is high, in addition to some differences that must be taken into account such as age and gender. We recommend Students to be aware of their abilities; teachers should involve their students by changing the information flow. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research background: Despite European labor market offers wider opportunities of employment also for Slovak women, it is characterized by notable gender disparities too. Except for the 12% employment gap, the 16% wage gap still occurs. Study examines generational differences in attitudes of Slovak woman according to their opportunities on the global labor market with the respect of fact that, women’s own views on the need for such activities differ across generations. Purpose of the article: The aim is to point out that views of Slovak women on their opportunities at the global labor market is perceived differently by women of diverse generations. Methods: The research was conducted using the questionnaire method on a sample of 361 respondents, who were exclusively women of economically active age already incorporated in the labor market. For this reason, stratified randomization was performed and members of Generations X, Generation Y, and Generation Z were approached to participate in the online survey. The assumptions of differences were set for 6 chosen variables and statistically tested according to the age through Kruskal-Wallis test using XL stat. As a post hoc test the Bonferroni correction was computed to counteract the problem of multiple comparisons between variables. Findings & Value added: The uniqueness of our study is primarily in targeting at women of different generations and looking for differences in their generational attitudes.

Revisiting the Global Care Chain literature, I reflect on the ways in which care chain presents an alternative picture of care work and reproduce and reinforce gender inequalities to promote neoliberalization. I argue that both the rhetoric meaning and practice of care work inflects the broadest moral contradiction, ambivalence and hybridity of our social and political world today. Critiques of inequalities in global caring, therefore, need to pay attention to the relative philosophical canon. The study is qualitative and based on empirical findings basically from secondary sources of data. Empirical evidence reveals that despite significant progress in the global female labor force through the global care chain, its construction is built on sexist stereotype practices and policies. Findings further demonstrate that this global care chain misrepresents and devalues care work. The study concludes that although female labor force has increased by promoting the global care chain over the decades, the reduction of gender inequality of the global labor market has not happened simultaneously, rather this relocation of female caregivers has reinforced and reproduced gender inequity to many extents.

The higher education market portends to be a huge market in the future that traditional systems of delivery of services will be insufficient. This paper proposes a model that links two (2) global markets: the higher education market and the labor market, as dramatic changes are taking place in the 21st century. A modeling and simulation strategy has been employed in this paper predicting the impact of higher education market to the labor market. Results indicated that with the rapid expansion of the Higher Education(HE) market, the size of the higher education labor force will inevitably expand.The labor market tolerates a maximum expansion capacity for HE graduates beyond which the excess HE graduates will bifurcate into two (2) channels of productive sector, namely: (a) the creation of new economies or (b) the integration of HE graduates into the skilled labor force. This dynamics necessarily yields a highly fragmented labor force configuration. In essence, the evolution of the labor market is a replica of Darwin’s Biological Theory of Evolution where only the fittest will survive, i.e. evolution through mutation and adaptation whose equivalent concepts in this setting are “innovation” and “adaptation” respectively. It is well-established in Evolutionary Biology that “mutation” is the shortest-route to evolution and so we posit that “innovation” is the shortest route to the labor market evolutionary ladder. Therefore, a good university must be able to produce graduates who are innovative and adaptive at the same time to survive in a competitive labor market.

This study focused on mentoring USAMV and UPB Master Students for managing knowledge and skills in research and work. The target was improving competence by reconstructing knowledge via assembling data into new corpora hence getting the skills assessed by international testing. Implementing mentoring strategies in our study led to: refined idea-generation; complex idea structure design; alternative solutions; better idea management; gap diagnosis. Mentoring on communication competence used intercultural angles because mind-mapping is a cross-cultural skill and a universal idiom worldwide. Quality targeting enabled job flexibility and geographical mobility, while lifelong learning abilities generated well-informed decisions on further careers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Modern educational system of higher education in Ukraine requires innovative approaches to the formation of professional qualities, such as competitiveness, initiative, ability and desire for self-improvement, creative potential development. One of the brightest examples of students’ implementation with these qualities can be illustrated through the United States that serves as a model of training activities for many institutions of higher education in the world now. The article provides historic analysis of creation of the educational system of America and Ukraine, the result of which requires a plurality of inherited experience in the field of innovative technologies to produce qualified resources for the country development.

Abstract: The starting point is an analysis of the evolution of recruitment of crews in the maritime traffic on the global and local scale; a case study in a medium-size port of the European Union, the Port of the Bay of Cadiz, is presented. The evolution of the Open Registries and the phenomenon of the globalization of crewing have been studied from the information provided in the databases of consultants and international bodies. For the case study an analysis has been made of 507 vessels that docked in the port of Cadiz between the years 2002 and 2008. From this analysis, it is concluded both globally and locally that market is evolving rapidly. The question of finding suitable crews is not only economic: sometimes the reasons for these “substitutions” are directly related to the demands in terms of working hours or civilized conditions of accommodation and food. Multiculturality is therefore a general feature of crews today; language is a key determinant of this phenomenon. The implication behind this trend is that the profession of ‘seaman’ in the OECD countries is becoming less attractive from the point of view of personal and even professional life. The human decapitalization of maritime personnel is also a strategic problem in the provision of specialized seamen for tasks of the Maritime Administration and PSC Inspection, together with the progressive aging of the existing crews.

Urban areas compete with one another for people, goods, capital, ideas and other inputs of economic activity. Under the rubric of globalization, instead of only maintaining or improving the initial stock of assets in a city, the power of a place to attract outside flows of economic activity from elsewhere is increasingly important to economic development. Similarly, global or world cities are characterized as the command and control points through which these global economic flows operate. In response to the heightened mobility of highly-skilled labor across national borders, research has begun to examine the role of international human capital as an economic flow. This paper will examine the role of places in determining where the highly-skilled go in the global economy by viewing global city command and control functions as requiring unique labor flows. By reviewing the evidence found in the literature, we can better understand the potential for urban areas to compete for highly-skilled labor in the global economy. Known indicators of place attractiveness are assessed to examine the relationship between the economic trajectories of cities and their labor requirements. Cities are situated between firms and states as the key place-based actors which influence the mobility of highly-skilled labor. Finally, the paper also examines measurement issues and methodological problems in creating indices of world cities as well as explores possibilities for new research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
