==Scholarly work== In his book '''A Purposive Approach to Labour Law''' (OUP, 2016) Davidov argues that the mismatch between goals and means is a major cause of crisis in labour law, and adopts a purposive approach to interpretation and legislative reform, to address this crisis. Davidov offers solutions at the level of both judicial interpretation and legislation. The book offers several examples of implementing a purposive analysis. It also recommends institutional structures that are suited to ongoing adaptation of the law to changing circumstances. Finally, Davidov makes several proposals to improve compliance and enforcement.<ref>{{Cite web |title=A Purposive Approach to Labour Law |url=https://global.oup.com/academic/product/a-purposive-approach-to-labour-law-9780198824244 |access-date=2024-06-17 |website=global.oup.com}}</ref>
