SEPARATE ISSUES OF LEGAL REGULATION OF THE LABOR RELATIONS OF PERSONS RECEIVING POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION

Abstract

The article is devoted to covering the issues of legal regulation of employment relations of persons receiving postgraduate education. The analysis of the educational and labor legislation on the state of regulation of the exercise of the right to work by the lifelong learners is made. The positions of scientists on defining the concept of education are given, the forms of postgraduate education are indicated. The use of the term "postgraduate education" has not been proven correct, instead it is suggested to use the concept of lifelong education or adult education instead. It is concluded that in modern Ukrainian conditions, both employers and employees, as well as the state and society as a whole, show interest in the effective development of education throughout life, which is a reflection of the global tendency to increase the importance of education as an important factor of socio-economic development. Emphasis is placed on the importance of labor relations in the aspect of the development of lifelong learning. It is argued that lifelong learning should be understood as an important socio-pedagogical phenomenon that, if developed and approved in the state, can overcome such a phenomenon as unemployment. It is stated that the system of national institutes of formal education is a fundamental source of lifelong learning. Approaches of foreign countries to become a lifelong education institute are analyzed. It is proposed to review the approach currently available in the current labor law and in the draft Labor Code to cover education and labor relations. It is noted that educational- labor relations contain a much larger range of legal regulation issues than just “benefits for workers who combine work with training”. It is noted that lifelong learning becomes the link between the dynamic development of information technology, the emergence of new social relations, the emergence of new forms of employment. It focuses on the need to create a sound synthesis of educational and labor relations in order to ensure a decent standard of living for the population in today's market economy.
