Theoretical and methodological approaches to the formation of the digital ecosystem of the youth labour market in the region

In contemporary conditions, the role of youth in the labour market is increasing. Economic growth depends on the extent to which it is possible to preserve and enhance the intellectual capital of young people. Consequently, young individuals are the basis of the workforce in the future, and the development of our state depends on the formation of favorable work conditions for their engagement. Nowadays, youth play a pivotal role in shaping the political, economic, scientific, technical, industrial and social fabric of society. Therefore, fostering patriotic work attitudes among young people to ensure their effective transition from school to work is a primary aim for the economic and social security of the state, as well as maintaining stable socio - economic dynamics in the future. The purpose of the study is to develop theoretical and methodological approaches for establishing a digital ecosystem within the youth labour market. It involves a comparative assessment of youth employment in the Republic of Belarus and the regional labour market (specifically, Vitebsk region). Additionally, the study outlines requirements for data processing, classification and visualization within the digital ecosystem of the youth labour market in the region. The object of the study is the youth labour market in the Vitebsk region. The subject of the study encompasses the socioeconomic relations that emerge during youth employment, ensuring its effectiveness. The article argues for the necessity of creating a digital ecosystem of the youth labour market and proposes its own definition. Theoretical approaches to the analysis of the youth labour market, which serves as the methodological basis for creating its digital ecosystem, have been studied and summarized. Furthermore, an analysis of key indicators related to the youth labour market in the Vitebsk region was carried out, comparing it with the youth labour market in the Republic of Belarus. Notably, the study highlights the factors influencing demand in the youth labour market of the Vitebsk region. Finally, basic principles for data processing and visualization within the digital ecosystem of the youth labour market in the region have been developed.
