The Methodical Approaches to the Calculation of Jobs Created in the Economy: a Comparative Analysis
Abstract
The article is aimed at studying the existing national and foreign methods to monitor the creation of jobs in the economy, identifying their main functions, advantages and disadvantages in order to substantiate a new research and information base that would facilitate formation of common approaches to analysis, evaluation, and interpretation of the macroeconomic parameters that characterize this process. Contradictions in the process of using modern methods to monitor the creation of new jobs in Ukraine have been identified. The study determined that the objectives and tasks of the Ukrainian methodology on their essence and substance were almost completely inconsistent. The foreign methods use different approaches and have a much wider instrumentarium. It has been concluded that the currently available statistical reporting system does not permit an assessment of the intensity of creation and closure of jobs in the industry, which is unacceptable in the form of the updated innovation-investment and socio-economic policy of Ukraine.
