Для устранения же социального неравенства в новых условиях развития крайне важно:
1. обеспечивать контроль доходов и расходов людей.
2. сглаживать разницу в доходах между самыми низкооплачиваемыми и высокооплачиваемыми слоями населения [4].
3. создавать равный доступ к социальным услугам.
4. вводить механизм справедливой оплаты труда.
Сейчас нужно работать на опережение, используя своевременно весь позитивный потенциал и нейтрализуя возможные риски, главным образом проводить структурные и институциональные реформы, обеспечивающие прочную основу для повышения благосостояния людей как главной цели российской экономики, для поддержания устойчивого роста и конкурентоспособности не только для государства, сколько для как каждого человека.
Правительство стремится разработать и внедрить программы, направленные на улучшение качества жизни всех социальных слоев населения в каждом регионе. Но для достижения высокого качества жизни населения требуются дополнительные решения.
Приоритетным должно быть реформирование системы социального обслуживания с использова-
нием цифровых технологий, позволяющее с оптимизмом смотреть в будущее в свете обеспечения важнейшей стратегической цели - развитие человеческого капитала, достижение принципиально «нового» качества жизни населения.

ABSTRACT
In the conditions of information inflation and restructuring of the usual world order, acceleration of all socioeconomic processes and transformation of the global perception of reality, it is the change of educational paradigm that is a necessary precondition for adaptation and even survival in complete uncertainty. Education, and in particular higher education, should provide a sense of security, promote the acquisition of skills that can be used differently in any activity, learn and retrain throughout life.
The article presents an in-depth analysis of the needs of employers and their requirements for economic professionals. The most popular skills on the Ukrainian labor market, both universal and professional, have been studied, as well as compared with studies of world trends. Prospects for further development have been identified and what transformations the system of educational services should undergo in this regard to meet the changing demand in the labor market.
Keywords: labor market, employers, universal skills, soft skills, analysis, human resources, educational programs, applicants for higher education, generation theory.
Formulation of the problem. Determining the requirements of employers for the competencies of future employees is an important factor for the formation of human resources and their management [1]. The relevance of studying the realities and prospects of human resources development is due to the growing importance of the role and place of man in all socio-economic processes [2]. In the process of human resources
development, the implementation of disciplines in the educational program plays an important role, which would form program results aimed at mastering universal skills that are in demand in the labor market and necessary for starting your own business (including implementation and development of social entrepreneur-ship as a separate and a specific but promising type of self-employment [3-4]). At the same time, the customer

orientation of the business, which is the main and most effective style of activity today, depends entirely on the universal skills of employees [5]. At the same time, adaptation, as a functional feature of socio-economic systems and personnel of enterprises [6-8], as well as adaptability, as their key feature, are characterized by one of the most important skills of today.
The Analytical Report "Urban Competitiveness Index 2019/2020" [9] identified barriers to doing business that most hinder development in Ukrainian cities. It is pointed out that among the first three obstacles, which are traditionally high taxes and low consumer demand (regardless of size and sector), there is such a problem as the lack of skilled labor. The problem is manifested not only in the quantitative shortage of workers, but also in the qualitative inconsistency with the needs of employers.
Modern economic realities in Ukraine demonstrate the complex problem of staffing business structures in all areas of management, which is caused by many factors, including the mismatch of skills acquired by students of all levels (hard skills prevail), the demands of employers (except hard skills need soft skills). Formal education is aimed mainly at the development of professional competencies that determine the so-called hard skills, while soft skills are given almost no attention. Thus, scientists face a number of problems that need to be addressed immediately, namely: the inconsistency of the competencies of graduates of economic specialties of the Free Economic Zone to the demands of employers in the labor market of the Kharkiv region; low level of professional compliance in terms of soft skills of job seekers to the requirements of employers in the labor market of the Kharkiv region.
At the same time, the direction of solving the problems is to increase the level of compliance of job seekers with the requirements of employers in the labor market of the Kharkiv region by improving (revising) educational programs. To provide practical recommendations in this direction, it is necessary to solve several tasks:
-analyze the requests of employers regarding the competencies of economic professions using job-sites;
-analyze employers' inquiries about the competencies of economic professions through questionnaires (interviews);
-to form a vision of competencies of economic professions through questionnaires and focus groups with applicants for higher education in economic specialties 1-6 years of study;
-to form a vision of the competencies of the professions of economic profile through questionnaires and focus groups with teachers of free economic zones;
-form a vision of the competencies of economic professions by analyzing global trends in the requirements of employers;
-summarize the competencies required for graduates of free economic specialties in the general recommendations for the formation of educational programs.
The inclusion of teachers of economic specialties in the stakeholders is due to the fact that universities must be innovative and progressive centers and offer employers innovations in the professional field. Thus, employers can develop competencies that are outdated and do not correspond to modern trends in economic development to job seekers (graduates of free economic zones).
General research methodology:
1. Expert analysis of job-sites in terms of functional responsibilities, hard and soft skills of economic specialties.
2. Formation of a pool of functional responsibilities, hard and soft skills for further analysis.
3. Detailing and rating of hard and soft skills of economists by interviewing employers.
4. Questionnaires and focus groups with applicants for higher education in economic specialties 1-6 years of study to identify their vision of hard and soft skills.
5. Focus group with freelance teachers to identify their vision of hard and soft skills (interview method).
6. Analysis of global trends in competencies, skills, abilities.
At the first stage of the analysis we will focus on the study of job-sites in Ukraine. This practice is appropriate given the presentation of the results of the study on labor market dynamics by the National Qualifications Agency (NQA) at the forum "Human Capital: A New Agenda", which took place on November 12-13, 2020. The analysis was conducted from 01.10 -31.10.2020 on the sites robota.ua and Work.ua, which are the most popular in our country. It was determined that the number of resumes exceeds the number of vacancies (290.51 thousand against 82.61 thousand); compared to September, there is a declining trend in job search and supply (-18.69% and -9.17%, respectively) [10].
Results of the research. The authors analyzed the most popular job sites in Ukraine - work.ua and rab-ota.ua. According to the analysis of work.ua, we note that most vacancies in Ukraine as a whole as of 25.10.20 belong to working specialties (12%), in second place - sales and procurement (10%), services (9%), retail and administration, management of 6% (Fig. 1).

As of October 26, 20, 15 vacancies for economists in Kharkiv were submitted to the work.ua website, which contained requirements for the job seeker. The analysis of requirements to applicants for the profession of "Economist" is presented in table. 1. 50 vacancies in Ukraine were analyzed (excluding the financial and credit sphere).
Methodology of analysis: since vacancies are formed without following the standard form, their content varies; in addition, the same functional responsibil-
ities are described either very broadly or very concretely; vacancy names vary; vacancies reflect the specifics of the field of activity. Therefore, a qualitative analysis was applied to each vacancy, an expert assessment of the functional responsibilities of the economist was conducted, and the formation of the essential workload was carried out. Vacancies also formed the necessary knowledge / skills / requirements, among which, almost all employers noted the presence of experience (91%).

Figure 4 - Analytics of professional knowledge /skills that a graduate of economic specialties should have
(according to the analysis of job-sites)
According to the results of interviews with academic staff related to teaching in the specialties 051 Economics and 076 Entrepreneurship, Trade and Exchange, the following professional knowledge / skills were added to: the necessary knowledge of production accounting; knowledge of business planning; knowledge of project management.
This addition is due to the fact that teachers monitor modern educational programs of the leading free economic zones of Ukraine and foreign universities, as well as the dynamics of development of a particular
specialty. Accordingly, these are the knowledge and skills that a future employer will need. Analysis of application packages for economists (Fig. 5) showed
From the analysis of job-sites we see that 76% of vacancies assume that job seekers will have good skills in working with PC MS Office, and another 72% want future employees to be able to work with 1C. Also prescribed in vacancies are the ability to work in general with ERP, or specifically with BAS, SAP. As an analytical program for economists, employers want Power BI.

Teachers are recommended to add Smet to the program packages, because the university has a construction orientation, and Power Point as a basic skill of presenting information.
It should be noted that employers are very limited and generally prescribe soft skills in the requirements for applicants. For example, sociability, stress resistance, etc. The list of soft skills that are most often prescribed by employers is
To form a holistic picture of the competencies that an economist should have, a survey of 31 employers was conducted using a Google questionnaire, which answered a number of questions: programs that an economist should have; basic professional knowledge / skills; soft skills.

With the results of the survey on basic professional knowledge / skills, the results were obtained, which are shown in Fig. 8.
From this figure we can see that 80.6% of respondents consider knowledge of financial accounting necessary; 74.2% - knowledge of budgeting, knowledge of financial reporting, knowledge of business planning consider this knowledge necessary for graduates of economic specialties; 67.7% of respondents consider
knowledge of management and accounting necessary; 64.5% prefer project management knowledge.
Employers who took part in the survey are partners of KhNUBA, where graduates are employed, or who are directly graduates; also among employers there are organizations which do not have in the staff graduates of economic specialties of KhNUBA; are leaders of the labor market of the Kharkiv region or cooperate with KhNUBA on improvement of educational programs and development of soft skills.

Today's applicants for higher education, who according to the theory of generations belong to generation Z (iGen, generation of founders), will enter the labor market en masse in the near future. This fact must be taken into account when analyzing the results of a survey of employers and applicants on the basic skills that a modern worker should have. The fact is that modern "sons-in-law" have radically different features of individual consciousness and social mentality.
Pew Research Center President Michael Smoke says that the unique thing about Generation Z is that all technological advances have been a part of their lives since birth. Therefore, to some extent, the representatives of the generation of founders have technical skills that make up the digital competence of hard skills.
Google [12] records in the "zeta" all those born after 1993. Jeremy Finch and Tessa Weggert believe that Generation Z are people born between 1998 and 2008. William Strauss and Neil Howe begin counting Generation Z from the 2000s. According to Sarah Jib, Z is everyone who was born in the second half of the 90's [13]. Ukrainian scientists refer to this generation as those born in 2003-2023 [14].
Despite the lack of staff in Ukraine, it is quite difficult for this generation to find work. The so-called "ageism" (discrimination of a person on the basis of his / her age, common in both formal and informal spheres of society [15]) is widespread among employers and they do not take into account a number of advantages
of this generation (high level of responsibility, literacy, focus on results, etc.).
The advantage of "zets" is their multitasking, but the disadvantage is that they can not focus for a long time on something alone. It is important for them to set clear goals, flexibility of working hours, career development, in which they value not so much the amount of income as the promotion itself. Equally important for them is motivation and the ability to be a brand themselves. Nowadays, it is important for employers to take into account the differences of generations in order to use the strengths of each of them. Recruiters should also consider these features when building an EVP (Employer Value Proposition) [16].
Based on the above, the new educational paradigm for the new generation should be based on its features, namely: the ability to quickly receive and process any information; ability to think creatively; ability to draw conclusions independently; ability to quickly change views; ability to multitask; ability to easily learn; desire to benefit others; desire to learn something new; rejection of dogmatic judgments and a certain uncontrolla-bility; desire for security; striving to achieve high social goals. All these features of the new generation make us look for non-standard approaches in education and knowledge transfer [17].
During the impact of exogenous changes, especially if this impact is strong and requires an immediate response and transformation of the conditions of activity, in addition to the presence of professional skills, which are usually more firmly established, a certain list
of skills needed to adapt. We would like to draw attention to another paradoxical feature of crises and times of global transformations in general, which is probably inherent in the current level of development of society - the acceleration of social transformations over time, ie, as mentioned earlier, most forecasts of global ecosystem trends for the next 10-20 years, thanks to rapid transformations have come true today. This also applies to the training of professionals with a certain set of competencies and skills (Fig. 15).
The crisis caused by the pandemic has accelerated all expert and futuristic forecasts for at least 5 years. This also applies to the training of professionals with a certain set of competencies and skills. This infographic (Fig. 15) visualizes the acceleration of the transition from one state, which is the majority of professionals in various fields now to another, the acquisition of which is approaching very rapidly.
We are talking about the transformation from erudite competists (whose training has just begun to establish modern freelancers) to universal competists, who are able to easily function in the virtual world and coexist harmoniously with artificial intelligence, giving it all routine work and leaving creativity. According to experts [19], artificial intelligence will continue to automate technical skills and stimulate demand for soft skills such as creativity, communication and empathy, so the humanities will become necessary again. At the same time, the need to change the ideology of education in the direction of training such specialists may serve as an explication of the issue.
Figure 15 - Acceleration of the dynamics of change due to the crisis component [18]
Thus, the labor market is already renewing generations, and hence the transformation of human resources. Erudite Competitors (millennials) are replaced by job seekers from the generation of "sons-in-law" and form a cohort of so-called universal Competists or universals. And they will benefit because they have some of the innate skills that will be needed soon.
The authors of this study analyzed some of the largest studies conducted over the past 5 years to predict the further development of skills and their demand among employers (Table 4).
Table 4
The main studies of skills development and demand among employers from 2015 to 2020..

LinkedIn 2020 creativity conviction cooperation adaptability emotional intelligence
Microsoft 2016 oratory and communication skills creating presentations project management high level of organization
SkillsYou Need constantly time management emotion management self development communication teamwork negotiating leadership skills
The need to develop soft skills has been substantiated by many studies. For example, according to research conducted at Harvard and Stanford Universities, career growth is provided by 15% hard skills, and 85% - soft skills. The World Bank's Skills for Modern Ukraine study (2015) showed that there is a significant demand in Ukraine for developed cognitive skills, self-organization, resilience, teamwork and a desire to learn [20]. In recent years, this list has not undergone significant changes. Thus, according to a study conducted by the Center for CSR Development in July-August 2016, the greatest demand among Ukrainian employers are the following skills: teamwork, sociability, analytical
thinking, ability to learn quickly, flexibility, responsibility, initiative, literate writing and oral language, emotional intelligence. However, in the perspective of 2030, according to the same respondents, the greatest demand will be critical thinking and a project approach to solving problems [21]. According to the results of the World Forum 2020, the list of basic skills until 2025. creates the concept of 4K: creativity, critical thinking, communication, cooperation. It should be emphasized that according to all the presented studies, the leading position is occupied by sociability and ability to work in a team, which fully correlates with the results of the study conducted by the authors of this article. And this trend continues for five years and, despite
changes in methods and techniques over the past year, ie the transition to remote mode, remains in favor, complicated by the possibility of implementation due to lack of personal communication.
However, the authors of this study concluded that the accumulation of such skills provides an acquisition of integrated soft skill - adaptability to change, which will provide a painless transition from one equilibrium to another with the least significant losses and greatest benefits [22]. At the same time, adaptability is not just the ability to adapt to the situation and circumstances, but rather the search for new opportunities provided by the changed environment and new conditions of operation, benefit and improvement of their own condition through transformation. That is, changes in the socioeconomic system and its existing facilities must be synchronized to achieve a balance that must be sustainable, as turbulence increases and leaves almost no time for rest [23].
It should also be noted that communication and teamwork skills are not sufficiently developed in the generation of "sons-in-law", which can significantly affect their adaptation to working conditions after graduation and will require movement "to meet" employers, ie in some cases special and individual working conditions of "zetas" taking into account the level of their socialization.
Generation Z is considered the future of the world economy. By 2021, this generation will be the largest consumer group in the world. In the United States, Europe and the BRICS, they will account for up to 40% of consumers and 10% in the rest of the world [16]. The advantage of this generation is their ability to perform several tasks simultaneously (multitasking), but the disadvantage is that they can not long focus on one thing. For them, it is important to set clear goals, flexibility of working hours, career development, in which they value not so much the amount of income as the promotion itself. So, no less important for them is the motivation and ability to be a brand themselves. Nowadays, it is important for employers to take into account the differences of generations in order to use the strengths of each of them. Recruiters should also consider these features when building an EVP (Employer Value Proposition) [14].
These features are crucial factors in the formation of human resources not only of an individual enterprise [2], but also the country as a whole. What will require the establishment of basic skills during training and should be taken into account when compiling educational programs at different levels of higher education. Today, the formation of universal skills (soft skills) is a mandatory criterion in assessing the quality of educational programs and one of the conditions for accreditation and the possibility of further implementation of programs.
The transformation of socio-economic systems, which is now taking place at an accelerated pace, requires an even faster restructuring of the educational system so that it not only meets modern requirements, but is one step ahead. The Davos Economic Forum generated a number of key points, among which J. Ma's
views on key vectors of development (4E) are important: E - education; E-entrepreneurship; E - electronic infrastructure; E - e-government [25].
To date, there is a striking gap between the needs of the labor market, higher education seekers and the content of educational programs that must meet state-approved standards of higher education. However, it is the needs that are the basis for future learning goals. Therefore, it is important to apply an approach to the development of educational programs based on the concept of singularity and holism, ie covering the views of all stakeholders involved in the educational program. This makes it possible to bridge the gaps between generations and gaps in understanding and shaping educational needs [26].
This situation arises due to the lack of competitive, transparent and personal mechanisms for selecting the most worthy candidates for positions, which is the biggest challenge in forming a successful company with prospects for growth and development in the markets of Ukraine and the world. Therefore, recruitment is a priority in addressing the issues that underlie the problematic and strategic challenges in the competitiveness and investment attractiveness of SMEs, the development of markets and the construction of new customer bases.
It is quite difficult for business leaders to select highly qualified specialists capable of solving modern challenges in this coordinate system. Therefore, local authorities can help business by supporting a project aimed at interactive interaction between free economic zones and business. The best solution is to create a platform for professional and managerial fights, where employers will be able to clearly see the qualities and unique capabilities of the winners of the fights. Management duel is a unique technology aimed at developing negotiation skills, understanding the situation, the situation, the correct assessment of the individual qualities of the interlocutor, making strategically important management decisions that help achieve the desired result. Management duel is an intellectual game. In public martial arts, two people try to prove their superiority over each other, seek to resolve the conflict, find an effective management solution to the situation. The participants of the match have a dialogue for a limited time, the reason for which is any problematic management situation.
The solution of this problem corresponds to the State strategy of regional development (item 2.1. Development of human capital) and regional strategy of development (1.3. Creation of accessible and qualitative initial and average and integrated in the European space competitive higher education).
Conclusions and prospects for further research. Thus, a large-scale study of the needs of the labor market and the requirements of employers to future employees of the economic direction revealed the following main results:
-Employers are very limited and generally prescribe soft skills in the requirements for applicants. For example, sociability, stress resistance.
-80.6% of respondents consider knowledge of financial accounting necessary, 74.2% - knowledge of budgeting, knowledge of financial reporting,
Sciences of Europe # 64, (2021)_
knowledge of business planning consider this knowledge necessary for graduates of economic specialties, 67.7% of respondents consider knowledge of management and accounting necessary , 64.5% prefer knowledge of project management.
-required soft skills are the ability to work in a team (4,738 points), communication skills (negotiation skills) (4,677 points), business correspondence skills (correspondence) (4,486 points) and critical thinking (4,356 points), which correlates with the research of the most competent in this matter of world organizations;
-beginning in 2020, representatives of Generation Z enter the labor market, which have features different from the existing representatives of other generations, which form human resources today, and require other management approaches, as well as taking into account their mentality for effective work;
-formation of universal skills, as well as professional ones, should be formed during training, so the program results should include mastering these skills.
All of this research is based on surveys of key stakeholders in university education programs at all levels of higher education and is gradually being implemented during their implementation, as well as recommended for dissemination and adaptation.
