Abstract The changes caused by the full-scale armed attack of the Russian Federation on Ukraine affect the functioning of the Ukrainian labor market as a whole and, in particular, its regional segment, exacerbate the problem of disparities and imbalances of instability. The level of recovery of the labor market in the region depends on a number of such factors: distance from front line, relocation of business, changes in capacity of the labor market in connection with entrepreneurial activity, effectiveness of the policy on promoting employment and stimulating the development of the business environment, the movement of labor resources employees; such reserves as ensuring the stability of the labor market and labor mobility were formed in the region. Further stabilization of the regional labor market in the conditions of the war and post-war recovery is needed: the implementation of a number of measures aimed at the recovery, development and modernization of the business environment; formation of workforce adaptability; effective youth employment actions, using successfully implemented cases from other EU countries; implementation of national business recovery programs and insurance mechanisms against military risks; approaches to public procurement, which contribute to combating structural unemployment, reducing the shortage of personnel. The social protection is interpret as a multi-level system of economic, social and legal relations aimed at managing social risks in society, eliminating undesirable consequences and ensuring an appropriate standard of living. Social protection of the population as a system operating in wartime is a set of normative acts, forms, methods and actions: establishment of a regularly updated guaranteed minimum self-sufficiency provided for by the legislation of Ukraine. It defines the lower limits of wages, forms a system of pensions and benefits, guarantees housing and services in the communal and socio-cultural sphere; a discriminatory approach to different socio-demographic strata of the population depending on the degree of economic independence, capacity for work and opportunities to earn income; implementation of the right of all citizens to work and receive a guaranteed minimum income sufficient for the normal functioning of workers and their families; provision of various forms of support to the unemployed: unemployment benefits, organization of public works, retraining and obtaining new specialties for which there are vacant jobs, creation of conditions for opening one's own business; state guarantees of maintaining the necessary standard of living for low-income categories of the population; indexation of monetary deposits of the population in case of an increase in prices for goods and services; development and legislative regulation of a complex of measures representing the system of social protection of the entire population.
