Abstract
Social and labor conflicts as a kind of social conflicts have a direct impact on social development, being a negative factor in the implementation of labor activity and violating social well-being in general. However, the inevitability and permanent presence of social and labor conflicts with any modern society requires constant updating of both the theoretical and methodological basis for their interpretation and the practices of their settlement. This article is devoted to a review of theoretical approaches to the interpretation of the concept of “conflict” in various sciences, the specifics of determining the essence and attributes of a social and labor conflict in modern conditions, as well as identifying the features of social and labor conflicts in modern Russia in retrospect and in the early 2020s. The purpose of the article is to identify and describe the characteristics, factors that intensify social and labor conflicts in modern Russian society. The paper identifies and describes traditional and new drivers of social and labor conflicts, identifies and characterizes the stages of their development, sources of conflicts and forms of expressing demands over the past 30 years, identifies and investigates the types of Russian social and labor conflicts. Particular attention is paid to the influence of modern trends (digitalization, the use of artificial intelligence, the spread of the pandemic, the opportunities and limitations of the potential of a new human resource in the form of generation Z in professional activities) on the drivers and forms of social and labor conflicts. The paper demonstrates the discrepancy between the priorities of modern educational policy and the request from employers in the form of certain competencies necessary for the real sector of the economy. The article also explores the dynamics of ways to resolve conflicts in the labor sphere in modern Russian society.
