Abstract
The subject of the research is people’s rights to a decent standard of living and free development. The purpose of the work is to determine the place of human rights to a decent life and free development in modern legal regulation and ensuring the socio-economic development of the country. The article treats decent life and free human development as scientific categories, constitutional values, and basic human rights. The material and non-material aspects of the concepts under consideration, the substantive and procedural conditions related to the state and the individual himself, international and national standards are established. Based on the analysis of legislative and scientific sources, the possibility of ensuring a decent life and free human development is substantiated. The thesis is proved that people’s rights to a decent standard of living and free development can be included in a system of legally protected values, including through state control and supervision in the economic sphere. It is concluded that human rights to a decent life and free development are inextricably linked to each other, are fixed at the constitutional level, act as categories of both legal, economic and social nature and can be considered as a prerequisite, goal and vector of such development in certain historical conditions.
