COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LEGAL REGULATION OF LABOUR RELATIONS IN RUSSIA, FRANCE, THE USA AND THE UNITED KINGDOM
Two basic models of legal regulation of labour relations exists in the world practice. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. The European model is taken as the basis for legal regulation of labour relations in the Russian Federation. The same model is used in France. The USA and the United Kingdom created Common law system of legal regulation of labour relations. Common law and Continental European systems were adopted by most countries, however in some countries such as China and Latin America countries both models are used combining. Labour laws of the countries using the same model have some similarities. Thus the labour laws of France and the labour laws of Russia have a strong social orientation; they include many of the same rules. However employment law in the states of Common law system is so flexible that it allows more freedom to build employment relationships. It contributes to the development of the labour market and to high achievements in the country’s economic development.
