| Summary: | The article is devoted to the state of the labor market in connection with the dire consequences of the pandemic, the self-isolation regime and limited quarantine. The purpose of the work was to assess the scale and danger of coronavirus infection for the domestic labor market and the na-tional economy. To investigate the issues that arose, a toolkit for the methodology of activity-based comparative studies using statistical indicators of demography and sanitary statistics. Trends and dynamics of employment processes, unemployment rate, demographic difficulties of the country, the impact of the situation in the labor market on certain aspects of digitalization of business processes and the features of work in conditions of remote access to a stationary work-place are considered. The above can be called the obtained reliable research results. The author also raised other special issues of labor relations in the discussion mode. In particular, the doubt-fulness of some statistical calculations of the recursive influence of political factors on the behav-ior of the infection and the consequences of the COVID-19 epidemic using indicators of the in-cidence, mortality and lethality of this dangerous disease. This made it possible to draw one modest, but extremely important conclusion about the need to implement the import substitution policy, which has been half-forgotten since the time of sanctions against our country, in a particu-larly difficult situation of the falling national economy. And the directions for further research should be related to the search for ways to restore the economy, mainly in its real sector, in the context of a limited labor force potential. The article submits quite friendly criticism of the ap-proach of a well-known Russian economist in his foreign publication to the possibilities of ap-plied and uncritical use of statistics on the results of morbidity, recovery and mortality from coronavirus during the political party struggle in the United States of the presidential election campaign processes and the race of candidates with different party colors. In conclusion, the ar-ticle draws traditional conclusions based on the research results. In particular, the possibilities of digitalization of the population are emphasized and it is noted that the current difficult situation for the country's economy is once again
a favorable chance of overcoming it due to the forgotten policy of import substitution. |
