Abstract

The article analyses international legal acts that regulate the labour relations of certain categories of workers, as well as related problems. Their distinctive feature is the age that a person has reached at the time of entering into such a legal relationship. The peculiarities of such regulation are determined; its characteristic features are specified. Due to the fact that age is one of the legal facts that affect the legal status of the employee, an attempt is made to distinguish between age groups of employees and to identify features of their legal status in the employment relationship. The methodological basis of the study includes general and special methods of cognition. The dialectical method examines the problems of legal regulation of international norms on the use of hired labour of minors and the elderly and their relationship with a number of trends that have different effects on international labour law. Formal-logical and systematic methods are used to study the content of international legal acts governing labour relations of minors and the elderly. The main result of the study is the regulation in international legal acts of relations concerning the use of hired labour of minors and the elderly, improving its conditions, protection against discrimination and creating conditions for the free exercise of their ability to work within national laws, for comparative legal analysis and finding ways to improve existing systems. The article also pays attention to the content, significance and features of the basic principles for the use of hired labour of minors and the elderly, the establishment by member states of the minimum age for employment.
