PROSPECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIAL PARTNERSHIP IN THE LABOR SPHERE

DOI: 10.52363/passa-2026.1-3

Abstract

This article examines the objective difficulties that hinder the formation of social partnership in the labor sphere in Ukraine as a full-fledged institution of civil society. This study provides a detailed analysis of a set of measures, the implementation of which will allow for a qualitative transition in relations between employees and employers at all levels of social partnership. Currently, social partnership in European countries relies on a well-functioning mechanism of interaction between its participants: employees, entrepreneurs, and the state. The effectiveness of this mechanism is based on an expedient distribution of rights and responsibilities of the parties for the development and implementation of socio-economic policy. Social partnership is a specific ideology, a special vision of the nature of class interaction in a market economy. It is a method of civilized resolution of socio-labor conflicts, designed to guarantee the peaceful evolution of society into a state where contradictions and opposing interests of workers and owners disappear, where there is neither the dictatorship of the employer nor, moreover, the dictatorship of the employees, but rather a social contract and agreement between employees and employers based on the realization of the rights and interests of the parties.

Keywords: social partnership, social mechanism, personnel, workers, cooperation.
