Abstract

This article examines concurrent employment as a growing feature of contemporary labour markets in the European Union and Ukraine. It analyses employer attitudes, legal regulation, and the impact of external shocks such as digitalisation, the COVID‐19 pandemic, and the war in Ukraine. Using comparative legal analysis, literature review, and statistical data, the study identifies common trends and contextual differences between the two regions. The findings show that while the EU emphasises regulated flexibility and worker protection, Ukraine demonstrates greater employer tolerance driven by wartime economic necessity, highlighting the adaptive role of concurrent employment in crisis conditions.
