The main problems of unemployment and mechanisms for improving public administration in this area (using the Republic of Tatarstan as an example)

This article analyzes current unemployment issues amid profound structural changes in the modern economy and identifies key areas for improving public employment management. Key contradictions are highlighted: the mismatch between worker qualifications and current market demands, the rise of hidden unemployment, and the significant gap between passive support measures and the need for proactive policies. Using the Republic of Tatarstan as an example, a set of effective solutions is proposed, including transforming employment services into recruitment centers, implementing modern digital platforms for forecasting labor needs, and developing interdepartmental cooperation. It is shown that these measures significantly reduce job search time, improve the targeting of support, and reduce structural imbalances. The effectiveness of these approaches undoubtedly depends on digitalization, organizational change, and the use of data in management.
