The work is focused on the study of building up the argumentation on the improvement of working life quality, hence it is challenging for the development of the Russian Federation in general and as one of the goals of labor legislation. The survey is based on the economic aspect of the category "quality of working life", supplemented by the characteristics of the category "decent work" postulated by experts in the field of labor law. The work contains the analysis of documents of the International Labor Organization (ILO), program documents of the Russian Federation, and examples of regional regulation of improving the quality of working life. The main result of the study is that the goal of improving the quality of working life should be enshrined in the article 1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation as one of the major goals of labor legislation. It also substantiates the need of correcting certain labor law institutions, such as social partnership institutions, employment contracts, training and additional professional education of workers, working time and rest time, and labor protection.

The COVID-19 pandemic has become a real challenge for state policy in the field of socio-economic relations in most countries of the world, including Russia. It caused a crisis in both the economy and the labor market. In such conditions, it is necessary to adjust the socio-economic policy of Russia as quickly as possible. At the same time, one of the leading directions of changes should be recognized as the transformation of labor legislation in order to adapt to the conditions of emergency situations. On the one hand, it should continue to promote the protection of workers' labor rights, especially in terms of their life and health, employment and income. On the other hand, labor law should not ignore the interests of employers in order to ultimately preserve the employment of citizens. In a number of Russian regulations, there are references to the specifics of labor regulation in the event of an emergency. However, these norms are clearly not enough for such a force majeure as the COVID-19 pandemic, and the existing regulations cause a lot of problems in the law enforcement process. The measures that are now being taken by the Russian state to prevent the spread of the new COVID-19 infection and minimize its adverse consequences, partly help to solve the problems that have arisen. However, they are adopted on an emergency basis, since there is no corresponding legislative regulation of such issues. In addition, a number of theoretical questions arise. So, for example, new to the science of labor law are the issues of establishing remote work, non-working days, self-isolation and social distancing.
The author considers the theoretical foundations of the interaction of personnel and state policies in terms of digitalization of the world of work. This goal is achieved by solving the following tasks: studying the concepts of "personnel policy" and "state policy"; studying of their stages of implementation; highlighting and researching certain aspects of the interaction of personnel and state policies in the digital age; formulation and substantiation of political and legal proposals. The research methodology is based on systemic and political-legal approaches. The main results of the study are as follows. The systemic-structural and substantive aspects of the interaction of personnel and state policies in the digital age are highlighted and analyzed. The systemic and structural aspect is manifested in the following: personnel policy is a part of the public administration system; the structure of any sectoral state policy always includes a personnel block. From the point of view of the substantive aspect through the implementation of personnel policy, political decisions made by the state are implemented, and employers as subjects of personnel policy using social partnership mechanisms or independently during monitoring of the implementation of state policy can express their opinion regarding identified defects in the implementation of state policy. A feature of this interaction is that not only employers, but also employees, as objects of personnel policy, can also influence the development of state policy in terms of the digitalization of the world of work, for example, through the mechanisms of social partnership. The stages of implementation of personnel and state policies are described, within which they interact with each other. The study also formulated and substantiated political and legal solutions to the problems of machine-readable labor law, replacement of human labor with digital technologies, training and additional professional education of employees.
Judicial recognition of the relationship between a platform worker and a digital labor platform is one of the ways to improve the quality of work life of such a group of citizens. By acquiring the legal status of an employee, they fall under the protection of labor law. The article provides and analyzes examples of court decisions adopted in the UK and Kazakhstan, concludes on the formation of a global trend in the recognition of platform workers as employees working under an employment contract. In Russia, this method cannot be effectively implemented due to the lack of proper economic and legal conditions.
