Abstract

The research analyses objective preconditions for improving the protection of the rights of migrant workers in Ukraine. The research methodology included the dialectical combination of tools such as documentary observation and legal hermeneutics. Among the main results is that: sand analyzed the statistical materials and standards of current Ukrainian legislation governing the rights of migrant workers. Problems related to the implementation of the rights of migrant workers in Ukraine were determined. Objective prerequisites for improving the protection of the rights of migrant workers in Ukraine were identified. It was noted that the implementation of rights by migrant workers in the country depends on several conditions and, above all, it was the specificity of the legal regulation of this issue. It is concluded that Ukrainian law provides general guarantees to prevent discrimination against immigrants in terms of exercising their right to work. At the same time, the application of the rights of immigrants in our country depends on several objective and subjective conditions that should be discussed.
