The Public-Private Partnership Center of the Institute of Public Administration and Management of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration conducted a study on attitudes toward initiatives for legislative regulation of self-employment and platform employment. As Andrey Lapin, a research fellow at the Public-Private Partnership Center, noted during the press conference "Request for legislative regulation of self-employment and platform employment in the Russian Federation", this study was proactive in nature.

The main prerequisite peru mobile number database was a significant increase in the number of self-employed people in Russia, which amounted to 50% year-on-year by the end of 2022. The total number of self-employed people, according to the Federal Tax Service, was 6.5 million people. In 2023, the number of self-employed people will reach 6.9 million people, and by 2025 - 7.5 million. Against the backdrop of such growth, issues related to regulation arise, and, as Andrei Lapin emphasized, they are not just ripe, but even overripe. A new version of the law "On Employment" is already under consideration in the State Duma, which reflects both self-employment and platform employment. In total, there were more than 280 legislative initiatives on this topic.

Platform employment will appear in the legal field
The sphere of platform employment - the labor activity of citizens organized using digital employment platforms - will be introduced into the legal field. The corresponding bill, providing for changes to the law "On Employment of the Population in the Russian Federation", was introduced by a group of State Duma deputies

According to the press service of the Profi services marketplace, there is not even a definition of self-employment: "Even the institution of "self-employment" does not have a clear definition, although the phenomenon itself appeared much earlier than the statehood was formed. In our opinion, such a gap in the legislation is an artifact of the era: in 1991, when parasitism was decriminalized and individual labor activity was transformed into entrepreneurial activity, the attention of legislators was focused on the tax burden of entrepreneurs. The issue of regulating self-employment became relevant with the appearance of the term "professional income" in tax legislation and the introduction of amendments to the Civil Code that allow for certain types of entrepreneurship without registration. The greatest problem is the uncertain status of the self-employed. Formally, in the old regulations, they were considered both unemployed and unregistered entrepreneurs. The status of the self-employed, who, in addition to their main place of work, have part-time work from providing services on their own and at their own expense, is also not defined."
