STATE POLICY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOCIAL AND HUMANITARIAN SPHERE OF UKRAINE: CHALLENGES AND INNOVATIONS IN THE CONTEXT OF POST-WAR RECONSTRUCTION

Abstract

The article examines state policy for human resource development in Ukraine's social and humanitarian sphere under conditions of post-war reconstruction and European integration. The necessity of transforming traditional approaches to personnel provision in education, healthcare, social protection, and culture according to wartime challenges and state reconstruction tasks is substantiated. The complex nature of challenges facing the human resource management system in the social and humanitarian sphere is revealed: demographic crisis, mass migration of qualified personnel, infrastructure destruction, and changing priorities of state financing. The impact of full-scale armed aggression by the russian federation on the personnel potential of the social and humanitarian sphere is analyzed, which caused the loss of over 3 million internally displaced persons and emigration of approximately 6.8 million Ukrainians. Innovative mechanisms for human resource development being implemented in the context of post-war reconstruction are investigated: digitalization of educational and social services, international cooperation in specialist training, adaptation of European professional education standards, creation of flexible worker retraining systems. Special attention is paid to analyzing international initiatives supporting Ukraine's human capital development, particularly the "Skills Alliance for Ukraine" program and Ukraine Facility Plan 2024-2027. Strategic directions for improving state policy on human resource development are identified: formation of a comprehensive system for retaining and returning qualified personnel, development of partnerships between state institutions and international organizations, implementation of innovative professional training technologies, creation of conditions for attracting labor migrants. The necessity of balancing preservation of national identity with adaptation to global trends in human capital development is substantiated. The practical significance of the research lies in forming scientifically grounded recommendations for modernizing state policy on human resource development in the social and humanitarian sphere as a key factor for successful post-war reconstruction and Ukraine's European integration.
