More on the concepts of "self-employment" and "self-employed" in contemporary Russia

The article deals with the concepts of "self-employment" and "self-employed". We have analyzed various approaches to these concepts in modern Russian science, in particular two main approaches, which can be defined as broad and narrow. Representatives of a broad approach consider the concepts of "self-employment" and "self-employed" as closely related to the concept of "entrepreneurship". Representatives of a narrow approach, on the contrary, distinguish the concepts of “self-employment” and “entrepreneurship”, since they believe that the activity of the self-employed is based on personal labour without any employees.
