The article considers the right to fair pay in the context of socio-economic rights. International legal acts on the existence of provisions on fair remuneration are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the fact that fair pay is part of the block of socio-economic rights, which are characterized by a significant number of valuation concepts. It is noted that wages are the most important social standard for society, while the social standard means scientifically sound and socially recognized levels of material, spiritual and social needs, the state of social processes necessary for the proper functioning and development of society.Emphasis is placed on the fact that despite the fact that there is a whole package of international legal documents that describe and normatively establish the general principles and conditions of formation, functioning and development of the welfare state, none of these acts has an unambiguous interpretation of what specifically in terms of the quality and quantity of social benefits provided by the state, the criterion of «fair wages ensures a decent standard of living» is met.It is noted that a serious problem in determining the «fair wage» is the weak development of models for deter-mining the level of human needs, as well as absolute independence, dependence of wage standards on other social norms established by the state.It is concluded that at the present stage of development of the market economy in Ukraine the priority tasks are the restoration and expanded reproduction of human potential; restoration of economic growth as a basis for increasing the welfare of workers; formation of a high-tech national reproductive system and a corresponding modern structure of high-quality labor force; overcoming the relations of alienation and exploitation, including through a significant increase in wages and the development of various systems of employee participation in profits and incomes; formation of cooperation mechanisms for development at both macro and micro levels. This requires the development and implementation of a national program to improve the quality and dignity of work, one of the most important parts of which is the institution of wages.
