LEGAL STATUS OF INTERN IN UZBEKISTAN LABOR LEGISLATION: ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE AND NATIONAL PRACTICE

Abstract

This article provides a comparative analysis of the legal status of interns, their labor rights and guarantees within the framework of the labor legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in comparison with international experience. The author argues that the Labor Code of Uzbekistan does not fully regulate internship activities, which leads to certain gaps in the legal protection of interns. The study analyzes the labor standards of Germany, France, the USA and the International Labor Organization (ILO), and studies the recognition of interns as labor subjects in these countries, the provision of wages, insurance and social guarantees to them. The author puts forward specific proposals for the modernization of the internship institution in the labor legislation of Uzbekistan, the introduction of a separate chapter in the Labor Code, the mandatory introduction of a tripartite contract system, and the normative strengthening of social protection and insurance guarantees for interns. In conclusion, determining the legal status of an intern in accordance with international labor standards is considered an important factor in establishing fair labor relations in the country and ensuring youth employment on a legal basis.
