As of today, in countries with developed industry, there is a marked shift from formal to informal employment. In this context, the impact of self-employment on the development of the state should be one of the topical issues in the debate on employment policy. Due to the development of the platform economy, self-employment is developing as the main or additional source of income. The development of Ukraine as a socially oriented state governed by the rule of law is determined by the level of development of all state spheres, including self-employment of the population of state institutions, including the institution of personal income taxation. It was emphasized that the above-mentioned provisions of international legal acts became the basis for consolidation of the principles of labor freedom and the prohibition of forced labor in the Constitution of Ukraine. In turn, these constitutional principles are the normative and legal basis for the consolidation of the principle of freedom of labor agreement within the framework of labor law. It has been established that the establishment in the national legislation of the principle of freedom of the labor contract should enable an employed person and an employer who exercises the right to recruit staff to determine the working conditions that are most appropriate for them. The terms of the employment contract should not be burdensome for their parties and disturb. In such situations, the legislator prefers social rather than economic rights, since social law is more closely connected with the natural right of a person to life and freedom and security.
