Abstract

The content of universal and European regional international instruments on protection of labor rights of persons with disabilities is analyzed in the paper. The conclusion is made that Ukraine should take into account the positive foreign experience of the leading countries in the field of state policy of support for persons with disabilities and its implementation. It is justified that the world experience in the field of employment for persons with disabilities will facilitate the practical implementation not only of government programs but also of measures to protect the interests of persons with disabilities. A number of scholarly publications on the subject have been investigated, containing suggestions by scientists to improve promising labor law regarding the manifestations of discrimination on the basis of disability in the field of work. Some theoretically sound recommendations for improving the legal regulation of the protection of the labor rights of persons with disabilities and ensuring that they fulfill their responsibilities were developed. General conclusions have been drawn that the problem of the legal mechanism for the protection of the labor rights of persons with disabilities needs reforming and improvement. Some proposals for improving the legal regulation in this field were given.
