Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to examine the legal problems of ensuring the right to work
of citizens in the Republic of Kazakhstan and to find the conformity of labor laws in the
Republic of Kazakhstan to international standards. Using the method of comparison
analysis of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan and norms of international
treaties and agreements, the authors determine that in order to improve the labor
legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan and to prevent labor and social conflicts, it is
necessary to 1) amend and supplement the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan
dated August 30, 1995, with a view to ensuring the right to work of citizens of the
Republic of Kazakhstan; 2) similarly amend the Labor Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan
and the Law “On Employment” of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Thus, the submissions may
be practically important for the improvement of the labor legislation of the Republic of
Kazakhstan, prevention of labor and other social conflicts.
