The article considers the causes and social consequences of long-term unemployment in Ukraine. According to the results of in-depth interviews and quantitative survey, the causes of long-term unemployment in Ukraine can be divided into three groups. The first group includes the current situation on the world labor market, the second group deals with the inside situation in Ukraine, and the third group deals with the social and psychological characteristics of the long-term unemployed. The first group of causes affects the long-term unemployment and economic inactivity indirectly. A significant number of labor migrants and high-paying freelancers among the citizens of Ukraine creates conditions for maintaining of long-term unemployment among their family members. Low wages and rapid changes in the labor market (declining demand for a number of specialties, for example engineering and technical workers), low pensions and their low differentiation, high level of the shadow and gig-economy, shortcomings in the tax sphere are the most reasons for the second group of unemployment reasons. Among the cultural reasons there are lack of knowledge of the basic principles of labor law, lack of experience in formal communication with employers, prejudice against government institutions. For a large proportion of the long-term unemployed, formal employment is associated with a decline in their social status. It was also found that the status of the official long-term unemployed largely does not correspond to their real status. The most part of them are economically quite active unofficially in shadow and gig-economy. It is concluded that the problem of including the official long-term unemployed in economic life should be reformatted into the problem of legalizing their informal economic activity.

In the context of the modern Russian-Ukrainian war, the issue of shadow employment is closely related to preserving the Ukrainian population of working age. By implementing social security measures, we gain the opportunity to retain the Ukrainian population, increase the labor potential, and accumulate human capital as an important national resource. In this article, the aspects of the impact of shadow employment on the economic sector in Ukraine are explored, as well as the connection of this social phenomenon with personal social security is considered. The terminology of the study regarding shadow employment and social security is clarified. It is argued that shadow employment is a component of the shadow economy sector. It is shown that in conditions of a state of war, shadow employment makes sense for existence, as it mitigates and reduces the levels of potential unemployment. The purpose of the research is to generalize the theoretical aspects of shadow employment, establish a logical connection between shadow employment and social security, and indicate possible ways to reduce the levels of shadow employment in the context of ensuring social security. The conclusions and recommendations of the authors are based on the results of a project supported by the International Center for Rebirth, a public organization «Network of Legal Development, «which aimed to objectively study the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the legal needs and problems in the informal labor sector in Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on a range of practical measures that government authorities should take to improve the situation in the field of shadow employment and thus ensure a higher level of social security for both workers and employers. Considering the observance and provision of social security at the state level for all workers, especially those engaged in shadow activities, as a mandatory norm, state authorities intend to implement a series of practical measures aimed at improving the situation in this area, particularly regarding shadow employment. It is summarized that social security should be represented by a certain system of organizational, economic, managerial, and legal measures, the purpose of which is to prevent social threats to security at all levels: national, regional, specific enterprise, organization, and individual. Enhancing the level of social security in the realm of shadow employment will allow the development of mechanisms and organic supplementation of an effective state policy for ensuring the social security of citizens.
