ANNOTATION: This scientific article provides a multidimensional analysis of
the key strategies for reducing unemployment in the context of contemporary global
economic challenges. Unemployment is examined not merely as a statistical indicator
but as a complex systemic phenomenon with profound impacts on social stability,
human capital development, and long-term national security. The work explores the
primary causes of modern unemployment, including technological shifts, structural
economic changes, and the skills mismatch. It offers a detailed examination of core
solutions: reforming education systems to align with labor market demands,
developing large-scale vocational retraining and lifelong learning programs, fostering
entrepreneurship and small business ecosystems, adapting to the digital economy,
addressing specific youth employment challenges, and analyzing successful
international models from Scandinavia, Germany, and East Asia. The conclusion
synthesizes the findings into a coherent framework for policy, emphasizing the
necessity of an integrated, proactive, and multi-stakeholder approach to creating
sustainable employment in a rapidly evolving world.
