Abstract

In the context of the intensification of the integration processes of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, the focus of legal integration on the harmonization and even unification of labor legislation, it seems relevant to address the legal issues of decent work and ensuring the quality of life of citizens of both states, the convergence of state minimum social standards. The main attention in the article is given to such initial axiological legal principles that play a leading role in ensuring decent work and the quality of work life as social justice and humanism in the social and labor sphere, which determines the structure of this article. The problem of quality of life is interdisciplinary. It has not only a legal, but also an economic, sociological, socio-cultural, general philosophical context. Therefore, in the article, along with general scientific and special legal methods, an interdisciplinary approach is widely used. The authors aim is, based on doctrinal developments, normative material and its comparative analysis, to deepen the understanding of the ideas of social justice and humanism in the social and labor sphere, which underlie the legal program of decent work and the concept of the quality of work life with the development of proposals for improving the labor legislation of Russia and Belarus.
