Abstract:

This article analyzes the legal, political and economic aspects of ensuring fair remuneration for work. The analysis of constitutional legal norms, statistical and sociological data allowed the author to raise the issue of reforming the national wage system.

The author considers the right of workers to fair remuneration as the most important condition ensuring workers’ decent existence for themselves and their families. In author’s opinion, without ensuring the right to just remuneration, Russia cannot become a competitive and respected country in the world, embodying socio-economic, political, legal and ethic-moral progress.
