The relevance of the topic. The increasing shortage of labor in the Russian labor market, occurring against the background of a reduction in labor resources and in the absence of internal sources of replenishment, necessitates the involvement of external labor migrants. There is a need to transform migration flows, primarily by reducing the volume of low-skilled labor. But the solution to this problem should be based on improving the quality of forecasting the prospective need for personnel in the context of industries and territories, as well as qualification groups. It is necessary to develop a methodologically sound approach to determining the contribution of external labor migration to the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation as a whole and its individual subjects. In modern conditions, under the influence of a number of objective and subjective factors, the volume and directions of external labor migration have changed significantly, which necessitates a change in a number of approaches to labor market regulation. The article is devoted to the study of the prospects and risks of attracting external labor migrants to mitigate the personnel shortage in the Russian economy. The development and implementation of the proposed tools are possible based on the results of a comprehensive all-Russian study, which ideally should become a monitoring study. In addition, it requires a systematic solution to the problem of adaptation of foreign workers, which goes beyond labor migration. Goal. Substantiation of the need to clarify the scale of external labor migration, adjust and update the methodology of its statistical accounting to determine measures for effective labor market management. Methodology. A comprehensive study of the problems of external labor migration is possible based on the application of the methodology of interdisciplinary analysis. The use of principles and methods of such sciences as statistics, demography, economics, sociology, and law allowed us to identify the most significant issues: the accuracy and efficiency of migration accounting, the volume of shadow employment of foreigners in the territory of the Russian Federation, and the assessment of the effectiveness and economic feasibility of using the labor of foreign migrants. The methodology of quantitative and qualitative analysis was used to study them. The empirical base of the study was made up of data from the Federal State Statistics Service, publications in the media, and the results of sociological research. Results and conclusions. The author's position on the need to use the labor of external migrant workers is substantiated, which, along with increasing labor productivity, modernizing the personnel training system and other measures, will solve the problem of replenishing Russia's labor resources, mitigate the personnel hunger of the Russian economy. Significant amounts of shadow employment of foreign migrants have been proven. The necessity of changing the structure of flows of foreign labor migrants is argued. The results of the study confirm the urgent need to adjust migration policy and reform migration legislation. The scope of application. The results obtained are of interest to specialists in the field of labor market management, as well as those involved in the regulation of external labor migration.

The relevance of the topic. The need to study the existing state system of ensuring employment of the population is due to significant changes in internal and external factors determining the situation on the Russian labor market, and, accordingly, the formation of new priorities and tasks in the field of human resource management. Goal. Description of the main directions of reforming the state employment service, identification of the main problems that arise and approaches to their solution. Methodology. The theoretical research is based on a comparative analysis of statistical data, publications in open sources, expert assessments, and the results of sociological surveys. The methodological basis is axiomatics, interpretation, comparison and generalization, as well as methods of statistical analysis, expert assessments and forecasting. Results and conclusions. The article substantiates the need for the formation of a new mechanism for professional (re) training and market allocation of labor resources to available vacant and new jobs being created, taking into account the needs of the country's economy. This requires testing a new model for the functioning of the working link of the state employment service — the modernized employment center, including the development and implementation of a system for planning and evaluating the performance of departments of the updated state employment service. It is necessary to organize systematic research and scientific and methodological work, primarily in terms of monitoring, forecasting and coordination of the labor market and the vocational education system. Scope of application. The article is of interest to specialists in the field of labor market management, as well as practitioners implementing the reform of the state employment service.

The relevance of the topic. The need to identify problem points in the system of financial incentives for university teachers is due to the deterioration of the structure of the teaching staff and, as a consequence, a decrease in the quality of higher education. Goal. Development of proposals to improve the remuneration system of the teaching staff based on the identification of its «bottlenecks». Methodology. Theoretically, the study is based on a comparative analysis of various theories of remuneration. The methodological basis of its applied part is axiomatics, interpretation, comparison and generalization. The method of statistical analysis is also used in the work. The empirical basis of the study was the results of a sociological survey conducted under the guidance of the authors. Results and conclusions. The article is devoted to the assessment of the existing system of remuneration of university teachers from the point of view of labor productivity and the impact on the quality of education. The motives and priorities of university teachers’ activities are revealed. The authors propose measures to improve the remuneration system of teaching staff and substantiate the need to develop an appropriate model that includes such key elements as the level of wages, the actual intensity of labor, the ratio of qualification levels within professional qualification groups, criteria for labor performance. Scope of application. The article is of interest to specialists in the field of remuneration and labor rationing, as well as practitioners involved in the development of personnel policy of universities.

The situation in the labor market is such that the process of erosion of standard employment, its displacement by non-standard forms has become irreversible and increasingly expanding. Under these conditions, the relevance of studies of various forms of non-standard employment and assessment of their impact on the socio-economic sphere (both positive and negative) increases. The authors believe that support measures need promising new forms of employment, the positive effect of which is not in doubt. These forms include freelance. In the course of the study, the degree of awareness of workers about non-standard forms of employment was determined, the level of remuneration of freelancers was assessed, and priority forms for starting work on the terms of freelancing were identified. The results of the research and generalization of the developments of other authors allowed to form an information base for recommendations on expanding the practice of freelancing.

In modern conditions, regional economies are often faced with the problem of ensuring the necessary quality and level of training. With the minimum in recent years indicators of the labor market tension coefficient and the unemployment rate, the continuing professional-qualification and territorial disparities do not allow to ensure effective employment of the region’s population. The main purpose of the article is to show that one of the ways to solve the problem is to expand the practice of new, non - standard forms of employment. The calculations of perspective personnel needs of the Voronezh region presented in the article allow to determine the necessary measures of state regulation in the sphere of labor and employment of the population, as well as the volumes of professional training adequate to the needs of the economy.
