Abstract
The modern labor market is a dynamic structure that off ers young professionals a wide range of opportunities and challenges. The behavior of applicants in the labor market is determined by various subjective and objective factors, such as values and orientations, as well as age, geographical location and others. The youth of the XXI century, who grew up in the era of information technology and globalization, come to the labor market with new values, expectations and ambitions. They seek self-actualization, development of labor potential and work that brings them satisfaction and meaning. The younger generation contributes a lot to the transformation of the labor market because it brings with it new practices and values that aff ect established approaches to work and employment. Th is is why youth research provides valuable material for fi nding and retaining young workers. Studies of recent years emphasize the fact that for modern youth the pleasure from work is one of the decisive factors in choosing a workplace.
