Стаття присвячена актуальним питанням визначення соціально економічних наслідків впливу пандемії на безробіття в Україні. Проаналізовано динаміку безробіття в Україні та його вплив на економічне становище держави. Досліджено динаміку молодіжного безробіття в Україні у порівнянні з країнами ЄС та чинники, що на неї впливають. Окреслено ступінь впливу пандемії на безробіття, в тому числі в регіональному розрізі. В ході дослідження встановлено, що пандемія – це екзогенна причина виникнення безробіття, яка призводить до значних економічних і соціальних втрат: недовироблена продукція, скорочення податкових надходжень, зменшення купівельної спроможності, зниження рівня життя, підвищення значного навантаження на працюючих осіб та інші. Безробіття призводить до того, що населення шукає гідну оплату і умови праці і виїжджає за кордон, що посилює економічну та соціальну кризу в Україні та призводить до закриття вітчизняних підприємств.
