INSTRUMENTS FOR SUPPORTING THE LABOR MARKET IN ENHANCING SOCIAL ACTIVITY OF THE POPULATION

Abstract

 This article explores the economic and social mechanisms through which labour market support instruments contribute to enhancing the social activity of the population. It analyses various active labour market policies (ALMPs), including job creation programmes, vocational training, and social partnership mechanisms. Using international statistics from the ILO, OECD, and World Bank, the study highlights that countries investing more than 0.5% of GDP in ALMPs achieve up to 3.2% higher employment growth and 5–7% higher civic engagement rates. The paper argues that a well-structured labour market system not only stimulates employment but also fosters civic responsibility, inclusion, and sustainable social cohesion.
