Abstract

The article is devoted to the research of trends of transformation of the labor market in the conditions of formation of the digital economy. Signs of transformation of the world labor market are considered. The features of freelance development in the conditions of digital economy formation are investigated. An analysis of the global trends in freelancing is conducted. It is proven that nowadays freelancing has covered most of the countries of the world and is developing too fast.

According to the results of SWOT analysis, the positive aspects of freelance for the freelancer are freedom of choice of work, saving time and being able to earn income above the region of residence of the person. However, such jobs can be unstable, with low levels of social protection and lack of career growth. A positive aspect for the customer is the reduction of costs associated with renting premises, expenses and office equipment and office, bonuses, allowances, social benefits and more. However, there may be problems with quality control of the freelancers’ work.

The main problems of freelancers' social and labor relations are revealed, including wage unstable, social insecurity and discrimination. The article analyzes examples of regulating freelancers in some countries in Europe and the USA. It has been proven that it is necessary to improve the legal regulation of freelancing in labor law in order to determine the rights and obligations of the parties who enter into such relations.
