Abstract

The article analyzes the models of labor inspection according to the criteria of doctrinal classification and the requirements of international and European legal standards, in order to determine the trends and prospects for the development of organizational and legal support of labor inspection in the context of globalization. In the course of the research both general (dialectical) and scientific methods (analysis and synthesis, modeling) and special methods of legal research (comparative-legal, hermeneutic) were used. The broadest interpretation of Article 7 of Convention No. 129 of the International Labor Organization (ILO) allows the mediate application of the organizational models defined therein for all spheres of management. Moreover, the analysis of the experience of labor inspection organization in the 21st century shows the trends of integration, the common practice of applying a general model characterized by universal competence. In the conclusions, it has been found that, according to the criterion of enforcement policy, mixed models are often applied in practice, which presuppose the application of preventive and concomitant measures and sanctions.
