abstract: 'Issue under consideration: existing legal resources to support gender

  equality in the workplace. We systematised the provisions of Kazakhstan

  labour law, which should guarantee the prohibition of discrimination

  based on sex. The analysis resulted in five themes: ``Characteristics of

  women''s labour{''''}, ``Analysis of labour laws differentiation{''''},

  ``Evaluation of labour rights discrimination{''''} and ``Characteristics

  of the new labour legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan{''''},

  ``Characteristics of workers with a special social status{''''}. We

  analysed the essence of the method of differentiation of labour

  legislation, which affects the establishment of special working

  conditions for women and workers with family responsibilities. We

  suggested a correlation between the content of legal norms and the level

  of guarantees of gender equality in the labour market The results show

  that family circumstances, gender equality are factors influencing the

  formation of labour legislation, state policy in the field of wage

  labour. The creation of a favourable environment for labour relations of

  the considered categories of workers should be carried out through

  labour contracts, acts of the employer, social partnership agreements,

  collective agreements. However, priority should be given to normative

  acts of national action. Ensuring gender equality in fact always

  requires the implementation of special measures by the employer, which

  must be guaranteed by a coercive state mechanism. At least this thesis

  is true for the conditions of Kazakhstan, a country with a transition

  economy, when business does not have high social activity, and state

  power is in a period of transformation. Importance should be given to

  the monitoring and implementation of international obligations in the

  field of ensuring the prohibition of discrimination, the implementation

  of best practices and standards. The post-Soviet law of Kazakhstan

  recognises the priority of international law over national law, and this

  channel should be maximally used to promote the value of gender

  equality.'
