The systems approach is applied in order to substantiate a conceptual scheme for the development of the regional labor market, as well as the method of logical reasoning - when justifying the drivers of regional labor market development in accordance with the expectations of its subjects. The information basis was formed by monographs and scientific publications in line with the research subject. Findings. The expediency of introducing measures for the development of the labor market in Ukraine at its present stage of socio-economic and socio-political development is substantiated. The main subjects in the labor market are identified, which include employees, employers, and authorities. The factors in the development of the labor market were determined based on the differentiation of objectives by the labor market subjects.

Practical implications. Results of the study can be the basis for creation of policy to activate the processes of cluster formation in order to achieve the development trends of regional labor market and to accelerate meeting the expectations of its subjects, which would ensure a synergistic effect.
