Prospects and Research Directions in the Field of Comparative Labor Law

Abstract

Comparative law is irreplaceable in labor law because of its capabilities as a tool for a deeper understanding of various labor systems, supporting political decisions and strengthening the protection of labor rights. Investigat-ing how labor legislation functions in various national legal systems, researchers identify and explain how cer-tain areas of legislation development will help the development of effective and fair labor relations in the coun-try, in accordance with international practice. The aim of the article is to identify the prospects for research in the field of comparative labor law at the present stage. This branch of legal science contributes to a deeper under-standing of different labor systems and strengthening the protection of workers’ rights around the world. The analysis of research directions allowed to identify the main ways of further development of legislation in the field of labor law. It appears that they will focus on increasing labor mobility as part of ongoing globalization; ensuring measures to protect workers’ rights, analyzing the possibilities of creating a flexible labor market, re-forming this branch of the law, complying with international labor standards, and introducing legal innovations in practice while maintaining the principles of social justice and equality.
