It has been established that the legal doctrine is needed to be considered as the system of ideas, scientific views, theories on law that are being developed by legal sciences. Comparative analysis of international labour norms and the legislation of Ukraine on main legal rights has led to the conclusion that Ukrainian legislation does not fully correspond to requirements of international labour norms on the main labour rights, though in certain cases, in particular, concerning protection of children’s and adolescents, it has even higher standards.
