THE IMPACT OF WEB PLATFORMS ON LABOR MARKETS IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES AND PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The relevance of the research lies in the fact that unemployed individuals can submit applications and identify available infrastructure from anywhere in the country without the need to travel, and those who meet the requirements can be employed accordingly. This not only contributes to the country's development but also makes life easier for people, which is noteworthy. Platforms such as LinkedIn, Indeed, Upwork, and similar web services have reshaped the labor market. According to research conducted on these platforms, 75% of job seekers turn to online platforms. While it typically takes about 2 to 6 weeks to find a job using these platforms, without them, this process could take from 3 to 6 months.This article discusses how these platforms are changing the way people find jobs, the problems they can cause, and offers ideas for making them work better and be more fair for everyone in today’s job market.
