ABSTRACT: The subject of this research is digital technologies, increasingly applied in the key processes of labour market organisation and the implementation and formalisation of employment relationships. The article provides an analysis of the use of information technologies in the labour sector, forming the basis for researching new forms of employment. The relevance of this study is driven by the need to adapt to the modern digital labour market, dictated by global innovative changes and the application of digital and information technologies, which require normative legal regulation of new forms of employment relationships. These evolving paradigms are poised to shape the future labour market, which is increasingly predicated on electronic formats and the rapid development of new employment constructs, encompassing self-employment, remote work, and freelancing modalities. The scholarly novelty of this study resides in the systematic categorisation and analysis of the principal trends reflecting shifts in the dynamics between employers and employees, influenced by pivotal information technologies in the modern labour market.
