The paper raises the problem of the status of self-employment in the context of referring self-employment to the forms of exercising citizens’ right to freely choose their type of activity, analyzes the development of legislation regulating the self-employed. The author highlights uncertainty in the issue of classifying a self-employed as a subject of entrepreneurial activity. The paper examines the problem of the possible use of self-employment to bypass labor legislation in terms of hiring workers under an employment contract. The author dwells on her stance concerning the need to include norms on self-employed citizens in the RF Law of 19.04.1991 No. 1032-1 “On Employment in the Russian Federation”. With regard to the social security of the self-employed, the author concludes that in the process of improving the legislation, the self-employed should take some intermediate position between the employee under an employment contract, provided by all types of compulsory social insurance in accordance with federal legislation, and a business entity that receives such insurance upon voluntary entry in social insurance relations. Otherwise, non-inclusion of a fairly wide range of self-employed population in relations with the pension scheme and social insurance will lead to instability of their legal status in the future.
