The main part of active programs that affect employment in various countries of the
world is aimed at predicting changes in labor results, or at combating long-term
unemployment . With long-term unemployment, there are different arguments for
employment and its opposite.

The EU guidelines formulate the relevant principles in accordance with the labour
market policies of the member states, so the impact on employment of young people
who remain unemployed for 6 months, and even other people who remain
unemployed for 12 months or more, is considered an important issue. This approach,
on the one hand, accelerates the provision of assistance to the unemployed
population in finding employment in a short time, and on the other hand, prevents
them from losing their professional habits.

In this regard, appropriate approaches to overcoming long-term unemployment in the
EU member States have been developed, and they are reflected in active programs that
affect employment. One of these approaches is the principle of the approach to
overcoming long-term unemployment, which reflects the basis of the strategy for
influencing employment in the labor market. Thus, the opposite effect of long-term
unemployment is the main demand directed against unemployment. Focused
approaches to overcoming long-term unemployment require a short-term approach to
solving the problem in order to ensure rapid and effective employment at the individual
level [Proposal for Guidelines for Member States Employment Policies 2000,1999].

The level of employment and unemployment in the CIS countries in 2018-2019
compared to the previous year, in some countries there was a decline, and in others-
