The Declaration on the Establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization proclaims the promotion of effective cooperation between the participating States in the trade, economic, scientific, technical, educational, energy, transport, environmental fields, as well as joint efforts to build a new democratic, just and rational political and economic international order. The authors explore the foundations and potential of the convergence of the labor legislation of the SCO countries as a necessary element of the new international order. Taking into account the existing differences based on the distinctive path of each country, the authors investigate the systems of labor legislation of the SCO member states in order to identify common and special characteristics of the systems of legal regulation of labor relations. The objective reasons for the development of economic ties are revealed, which actualize in the future the issues of transformation of labor law in the context of structural changes in the labor market and the development of new, non-standard forms of employment. Based on the analysis of the current regulatory legal acts and scientific research, the general features characteristic of the labor legislation of each country are summarized. The most acute issues of legal regulation of the employment contract are investigated. The author’s view is offered on the most topical aspects of the legal regulation of individual relations in the sphere of labor related to the development of non-standard forms of employment in the SCO countries. As a result, the conclusion is substantiated that there are common challenges for the existing systems of legal regulation of contractual relations in the field of hired labor, which means that there are potential opportunities for consolidating efforts to overcome the consequences of the changes that have arisen and developing common approaches to developing new and most effective ways of influencing the right to labor relations. Since the SCO Charter 2002 The socio-economic goals of the organization include, among other things, a steady increase in the level and improvement of the living conditions of the peoples of the member States, then the issues of contractual regulation of labor relations should occupy one of the defining places in the system of states’ efforts to achieve it.
