The article is devoted to topical issues of the functioning of the labor market of Ukraine in the conditions of the war. The authors identify threats of digitalization of the market, as well as positive features of digital technologies. The main trends in the field of labor, which are characteristic of modern democratic countries, have been studied. Moreover, the optimal directions for the development of digital labor relations in the conditions of martial law are described and, at the same time, the possibilities of using digital technologies in the specified field are clarified. Finally, the expediency of developing mechanisms and tools for the implementation of an effective labor market management system that takes into account the issues of education, soft skills development and increasing the level of social protection and social security is emphasized. It is concluded that, in the experiences of formation of the global digital market of labor relations, the spread of new forms of work, organizational and legal methods and conditions for the use of intellectual labor is observed.
