The necessity of examining labour market transformations influenced by economic technological development from a systemic perspective is predicated on the requirement to comprehend these transformations theoretically and methodologically, and to adapt them practically by contemporary business entities and their present and prospective employees. Dynamic changes in the employment structure, qualification requirements and socio-economic relations, which are transformed and updated by innovative and digital technologies, must be understood. The objective of the present study is to identify, clarify and generalise systemic transformations of the domestic labour market in the conditions of technological development of the Ukrainian economy. The following general scientific research methods were employed in the study: system analysis, which involved the examination of the relationships between elements of the labour market; analysis and synthesis, which were utilised to elucidate the impact of digitalisation on labour market transformations; induction and deduction, which were employed to formulate general conclusions based on observations and arguments obtained to test hypotheses; historical and logical methods, which were employed to trace changes in the parameters of the domestic labour market. The study found that the functioning and development of the domestic labour market are characterised by the following trends: the disappearance of jobs and professions related to physical labour; increased flexibility in planning and performing work tasks; the requirement to possess advanced digital skills; gender equality in "classic" professions and jobs; an increase in unemployment among people who are unable to engage in lifelong learning and change professions; the need to develop high social skills among employees; the spread of digital platforms, digital recruiting, freelancing, online employment, crowdsourcing and other forms of digital employment; the gradual growth of the role of non-material forms of incentives in staff motivation processes to create a positive image of the employer in the labour market; the inability of top managers of companies and government agencies to effectively control digital employment. The study's practical value lies in its potential to inform the development of strategies and programmes for local, regional and national labour markets in an era of deepening digitalisation and economic process transformation, and in the context of wartime risks.
