Abstract: This research is focused on the impact of established global trends on the world labour market conditions and opportunities for human development. Five major groups of trends (technological innovations, ecodemographic, socio-behavioural, economic, political and administrative and safety trends) which have a varying influence on human development have been identified. The most significant global trends within the scope of this study include: life extension and life cycle change, development of artificial intelligence, introduction of new treatment and health advocacy methods, increasing aversion to manual labour, introduction of new employment models, aggravating resource scarcity, economic and social disparity, etc. The study has determined that global trends are characterised by wide impact on all state and social systems. These trends can be situational, and can entail both positive and negative changes in specific countries.

Keywords: labour market; global trends; human development; innovations; risks; poverty; disparity; employment; instability.
