To the issue of discrimination in the field of labor relations in today's conditions

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the problems of discrimination, its manifestations in the field of labor relations in today's conditions. Because at the current stage of development and formation of Ukraine, the problems of discrimination are gaining great importance and require additional research. Today, the main problem of discrimination in Ukraine is its widespread form of manifestation, which consists in gender inequality in the field of employment and job search. Domestic legislation, international documents, as well as the views of scientists who were engaged in the study of this problem were analyzed. It is noted that discrimination in the field of labor is unequal opportunities for employees endowed with equal productivity, or unequal treatment of them by employers, society and the state; this is a deliberate restriction of the rights of the subjects of social and labor relations, which blocks their access to equal opportunities in the labor market. It was concluded that the adoption of legislative acts aimed at preventing discrimination in the field of employment (Laws of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Regarding Strengthening the Protection of Workers' Rights" dated 05.12.2022 No. 2253-IX, "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine on the optimization of labor relations" dated 01.07.2022 No. 2352-IX) will contribute to bringing domestic legislation into line with the legislation of the European Union, the practice of the International Labor Organization and will have a positive impact on the market environment. Since, as the experience of developed countries shows, non-discrimination contributes not only to the establishment of democratic principles and respect for human rights, but also has a positive impact on social and economic relations in society, allows more efficient use of human resources, and ensures stability. Especially today, when Ukrainian society has faced new challenges. In such an extremely difficult time, the field of labor legislation more than ever needs adaptation, and therefore, the introduction of appropriate changes.
