Abstract

Today, the development of human capital follows the same approaches that have been used since the mid-twentieth century, in a completely different economic and social context. But the rapid development of the remote mode of work, freelancing, and self-employment radically change the organization of their activities. Robots and artificial intelligence perform only a small part of the work today. As the pace of automation increases, the number of employees will decrease. Moreover, it has become easier both technologically and legally. Remote work is now officially recognized, and its terms will be officially spelled out in the employment contract. The article is devoted to the issue of the possible introduction of unconditional basic income (UBI) in the practice of social services and employment services. The unconditional basic income (UBI) is considered today as a regular state payment of a certain amount of money to each member of society, regardless of where they worked or whether they worked at all. The article analyzes the trends in the labour market and their impact on the transition to the concept of unconditional basic income of the UBI. These trends are confirmed by the results of research on various aspects of this problem. Special attention is paid to the impact of the 4th industrial revolution of the 6th TU on employment, as the main condition that ensures the transition to the establishment of the UBI
