Interdisciplinary analysis and synthesis in labour market research

Work,professional work are the most important components of life that reveal to the person the enormous revenue opportunities and realizetheir potential. Work is also one of the fundamental values of economic culture, which is manifested through the relationship of personand society to work. The labour market, in particular, acts as the original criterion of social change in society. Massive changes in thelabour market indicate social changes, their positive or negative direction. The labour market is a category of not only economic, butalso social order. Labour market research in this regard is carried out by a number of sciences (Economics, Labour Economy, Sociology,Sociology of Work, Sociology of Labour Market). However, the basis of theoretical research in the science of work and labour market islaid by Economics. To analyze the economic behaviour of actors in the labour market there are four basic principles: 1) the principle ofself-interest; 2) the principle of utility; 3) the principle of cost minimization; 4) the principle of maximizing profits. Recognition of ''theprinciple of economic individualism'' as obsolete, excluding individual characteristics of the person, group and society from theeconomic analysis, results in the appeal to the social sciences, in particular to the methodology of economic sociology in the study ofeconomic behaviour of actors in the labour market. Economic sociology presents a socialized person, able to develop and implementnew social roles; economic relations between people and organizations do not exist in the abstract model of an idealized market, butwork through the social network, the social structure. Interdisciplinary analysis and synthesis allows to identify and summarize thespecific features of the functioning of the Russian labour market and its segments; to produce adequate directions of state regulation ofthe labour market and the social and labour relations, including policies on income, employment, job creation, creating a safe labourenvironment; to predict the trends of the labour market, its potential problems, and develop preventive measures. It should be noted thatthe irrational behaviour of the Russians, the importance of social relations and links, cultural diversity, multi-ethnicity in our country,authority based on the social relations make the interdisciplinary studies in the economy, employment in particular, topical. Economicsmust also undergo changes and be adequate to new economic, social and political circumstances, and investigate the formation of theperson (human behaviour) in life and work in the new global environment.
