LEGAL ASPECTS OF FORMATION OF THE COMMON LABOR MARKET OF THE EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION

Introduction. Ensuring the right to migrate and creating decent working conditions for migrant workers is the key to improving the well-being of citizens of the EAEU Member States. Labor migration strengthens integration by creating strong social ties and developing civil society institutions. It should be taken into account that only the legislative regulation of common labor market without simplifying the technical side of its functioning will not be able to fundamentally affect the growth of the well-being of the population. In addition, the convergence of measures to regulate the socio-economic situation of migrant workers in the EAEU space cannot be considered as an end in itself to ensure common, unified regime at any cost, but should take into account Russian national interests. In the context of increasing external risks associated, among other things, with sanctions pressure, a policy of "small steps" that do not deeply intrude into the zone of national sovereignty will be more effective and, most importantly, feasible in the EAEU space. The article examines such issues as the legal basis for creating the common labor market of the EAEU, it provides an analysis of the national legislation of the EAEU Member States on such issues as legal regulation of access of workers to markets of the EAEU Member States, including access to services in the field of education, health care and pension provision.
Materials and methods. The study includes general scientific methods of cognition. Authors also use special methods, such as method of legal modeling, comparative legal analysis and several other methods.
As a result of the analysis of the legal regulation of labor migration at the integration and national levels, the authors formulate some conclusions regarding the integration cooperation of the Member States of the Eurasian Economic Union in the specified areas. The article notes both the achievements of Eurasian integration in terms of social security of workers and the problems of forming the common labor market of the EAEU. At the same time, despite the existing difference in the levels and types of services provided to migrants in the field of access to labor markets, medicine, education and pension provision, the national legal acts of all member states comply with the provisions of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union, which grants workers the relevant rights. The final section provides proposals for strengthening and improving the common labor market of the EAEU.
