ENSURING EFFECTIVE EMPLOYMENT AS A KEY FACTOR IN POVERTY REDUCTION

Abstract

This article examines the role and economic significance of ensuring effective employment in poverty reduction. The study analyzes the interrelationship between increasing employment, making efficient use of labor resources, creating new jobs, improving labor productivity, and increasing household incomes. It substantiates that effective employment should be aimed not only at increasing the employment rate but also at creating sustainable jobs that provide decent incomes, which is an important condition for poverty reduction. Furthermore, recommendations have been developed to improve employment policies, strengthen vocational training, promote entrepreneurship, and take into account the regional characteristics of the labor market.
