“…In the works that address the problem of informal employment in Russia and St. Petersburg, the problem of this phenomenon is seen in the fact that the state wants to take control of representatives of this social group in order to expand its tax base, and selfemployed citizens do not want to be controlled by the state, which is expressed in extremely low activity in relation to their official registration (Kaufman, 2018;Kusheva, 2016). In some works, attempts are made to analyze at least partially the reasons for such rejection of state initiatives (Pokida & Zybunovskaya, 2020). It is assumed that the social group of informally selfemployed is a monolithic, unified group with a common opinion and the intention not to register (Korunova & Prygunova, 2018;Kritskaya, 2018).…”

“…But as of the end of February 2020, about 12 thousand people have registered, which indicates that in St. Petersburg there is a greater interest of the self-employed in the state's proposals in comparison with the pilot regions. However, this figure is not so large, as we are talking about near 1-1.5 million people employed in the informal sector of St. Petersburg, among which there are more than 100 thousand people who are self-employed (Pokida & Zybunovskaya, 2020).…”

The paper examines the attitude to the formalization of informally self-employed in Russia on the example of the city of St. Petersburg. The authors proceeded from the position that this social group is heterogeneous, and different characteristics of representatives of this social group affect the attitude to the formalization of their economic activity. The negative attitude to formalization of representatives of this social group was revealed on the surface. However, this negative attitude among different subgroups of informally employed people turned out to be different. The results of the study show that different age groups of informally self-employed people react differently to government initiatives regarding registration of such activities. The presence or absence of social status in the sphere of formal employment, which many self-employed people combine with informal economic activity, proved to be a significant social characteristic in forming the attitude of the informally self-employed to formalization. Thus, the great value has stability of the institutional framework of formal self-employment generated by the state, and the state’s determination to follow its promises given to informally self-employed, so that this social group formalized its economic activity. It was found that a fairly large proportion of the informally self-employed took up a waiting attitude towards the state’s initiatives to formalize the economic activities of this social group. This paper will be useful for representatives of Russian state authorities who are developing measures of socio-economic policy in relation to informally self-employed citizens.

“…An interesting idea regarding the status of a self-employed person was proposed by Pokida and Zybunovskaya (2019), noting that it is an intermediate link between an employee and an entrepreneur. Burlak (2016) states that a self-employed person combines the characteristics of a capital owner, an employer and a manager.…”

The present research article deals with a new type of business entrepreneurship in Russia -a selfemployed citizen who carries out business activities for use of property, sale of goods, provision of work and services without the wage labour and state registration as a sole proprietor (hereinafter referred to as a sole proprietor). It is noted that the Russian Federation for the first time provides for the possibility of systematic profit-making without state registration. The article analyses the legal framework of selfemployment, as well as the features of its legal status: which category of persons belongs to the selfemployed, the criteria for such correlation and the registration procedure with tax authorities. The taxation issues of self-employed persons, including professional income tax (independent business activity without employees working under an employment contract and not exceeding a certain amount of income for the previous calendar year) are also considered. The research reveals the disadvantages of this tax system, in particularly, when tax base calculation does not consider the taxpayer's expenses. The article also makes a comparison between self-employed persons and sole proprietors. Author investigates the liability issues, as well as the possibility to apply consumer protection laws to self-employed persons. It also notes that the high-level responsibility typical to all types of business activities unprofitably burdens the self-employed, leading to their reluctant legalization in this sphere. The research paper gives the definition of the term "self-employed" and its specific usage; pointing the necessary changes in selfemployed status and improving legislation in this area.

Introduction. Managing the lifelong learning environment requires a certain understanding of the educational needs and demands of learners of different categories. However, there is not The professional well-being of preschool teachers is sufficiently understudied, and operational models of professional well-being have not yet been built. The aim of the study is to develop a model of professional well-being of preschool teachers and to assess the quality of this model through empirical testing. Materials and Methods. The study involved 818 teachers aged 19‒74 with work experience ranging from 3 months to 50 years. The data was collected with the Russian version of PERMA-Profiler (O. M. Isaeva, A. Yu. Akimova, E. N. Volkova, 2022), Questionnaire of Basic Needs in Work (E. N. Osin, D. D. Suchkov, T. O. Gordeeva, T. Yu. Ivanova, 2015), Questionnaire of Professional Motivation (E. N. Osin, et al., 2017), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (D. A. Kutuzova, 2006), a short version of the Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (A. A. Pankratova, D. S. Kornienko, D. V. Lyusin, 2022), and a short version of the Big Five (M. S. Egorova, O. V. Parshikova, 2016). The empirical data were collected online. Results. The three-component composition of the model of preschool teachers’ professional well-being was identified with structural equation modeling. The model includes general well-being, activity and personal components. High professional well-being is associated with high level of basic PERMA characteristics, subjective feeling of good health; satisfaction of basic needs for autonomy, competence, relatedness; autonomous types of motivation; job satisfaction; the energy and efficiency of the teacher; high agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness to new experiences, extraversion and low neuroticism. The characteristics of a teacherʼs emotional intelligence were not included in the model. Discussion and Conclusion. The presented study contributes to the understanding of the structure and components of professional well-being of preschool teachers. The model of professional well-being can be used by the management of preschool educational institutions to develop and implement individual professional development programs, as well as to address issues of teacher retention in the organization.
