A defence of the dissertation by Dilfuza Saidazimovna Abdullayeva, entitled “Improving Uzbekistan’s Labour Legislation Based on the Fundamental Conventions of the International Labour Organization”, was held at the Law Enforcement Academy of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The dissertation was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Science (DSc) in Law in the speciality 12.00.05 – “Labour Law. Social Security Law”.

The research aims to bring national labour legislation into line with the fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organization and to provide legal regulation for new forms of labour relations. It substantiates proposals for establishing guarantees for part-time workers, ensuring equal pay for work of equal value, and regulating flexible working hours.

A separate section of the proposals addresses digital labour relations, including the regulation of platform-based employment of minors, protection of remote workers, and the prevention of algorithmic discrimination and psychosocial occupational risks. The research also proposes improving labour inspection and introducing mechanisms for regular monitoring of the implementation of ILO conventions.
