The article discusses how, in the context of the contradiction between the dynamics and structure of economic growth, on the one hand, and the threat of climate change, on the other, to ensure the post-war development of the Ukrainian economy through the formation of a social foundation on the basis of economic socialization. As one of the key resources of social renewal, this should help reduce the stress state of society and ensure social solidarity, expanding opportunities for the inclusion of the population in public life and the economy, in particular effective employment. At the same time, employment is considered as a response to the challenge of the time, which is determined on the basis of an assessment of trends towards reassessment of values and the desire to start a "new life" among the broad masses of the population affected by the war. The possibility of providing employment is associated with the processes of constructing a new reality in the conditions of war and, especially, post-war period, in which the active solidarity of the population on the basis of economic socialization in accordance with new requirements and the development of relevant activities that will contribute to the further development of the economy are possible. At the same time, economic socialization is considered as a component of the state employment policy, which should create prerequisites for the individual's awareness, revision and change of their own economic behavior, especially in the labor market. In turn, this requires the creation of systemic prerequisites for adaptation, which will demotivate the search for illegal employment, as well as migration for employment reasons.
