It is emphasized that the social partnership plays a special role in regulating employment as the most important component of a socially oriented economy, which ensures the formation and use of labour potential, human capital development and its direct impact on the progressive economy and society. It is noted that social partnership in the field of employment involves the organization of partnership social interaction, ensuring constant dialogue between the parties in the field of labour relations to reach agreement on employment, providing unemployed with jobs, introducing new modern forms of employment, creating decent working conditions based on mutually beneficial agreements and their implementation at the micro, meso and macro levels of management of these processes. It is noted that the restrictions caused by the global spread of coronavirus disease through the introduction of quarantine measures have significantly affected the change in employment in the direction of reducing it, reducing income, living standards and quality of life, the spread of shadow employment without adequate social protection. It is determined that one of the leading problems that needs to be solved is the reform of the social partnership system.
