The article considers main approaches to the study of non-standard labor relations. Based on the conceptual model proposed by C. Rakowski, three approaches to the analysis of non-standard labor relations are presented: structuralist, neo-Marxist, and legalist. The author identifies methodological limitations and heuristic potential of these approaches, and using statistical and sociological data claims that non-standard labor relations are widespread in Russia (from 32 to 59 million people). The article presents different estimates of non-standard labor relations: some authors focus on their advantages, others - on disadvantages depending on the ideological positions and the object of analysis. The author insists on the methodological confusion in the study of non-standard labor relations in the legalist approach which combines informal economy with non-standard employment, making it difficult to consider beneficiaries and ‘victims’ of the emerging system. According to the studies, the benefits of non-standard labor relations are typical for entrepreneurs, while disadvantages - for employees. The author proposes to distinguish employees from non-standard labor relations and entrepreneurs in the informal economy, which allows to combine all concepts of non-standard labor relations and to identify winners and losers of such relations. The article also mentions reasons for the growth of non-standard labor relations: globalization, automatization of labor, changes of labor values, and social policy - under the evolution of capitalism as a historical system.

Currency Demand

The informal economy has been the topic of debate for some time now and given its significant effect on the revenue, economists and policy decision makers alike have sought greater control to their dismay. This can be contributed to the lack of informal statistics on China, fueling assumptions that have not born results. To address the problem, this paper seeks to estimate the size of China’s informal economy using the Currency Demand Model. The central theme forwarded in this research is that China is experiencing its Lewis Turning Point and the industry changes positively impact the growth of the underground economy. Given this statement, the authors present a conceptual model that depicts the growth and movement of the informal economy in relation to China’s economic changes. As a means to provide intuition for decision makers as China transition to the 13th National Development Plan.

I denna artikel analyseras de socio-ekonomiska konsekvenserna av den hastigt avreglerade taxibranschen. Det har blivit vanligare för utrikes födda att arbeta i taxibranschen, men de har inte blivit integrerade på samma villkor som de infödda kollegerna. Trots att de utrikes födda är högre utbildade, har de lägre inkomst från taxibranschen än de infödda. Resultaten visar hur en bransch med försämrade arbetsvillkor kan erbjuda relativt attraktiva arbetsmöjligheter för utrikes födda, samtidigt som det resulterar i en oavsiktlig bieffekt, nämligen att utrikes födda påverkas hårdast av de rekommodifierande processerna i relationerna mellan arbetsmarknad och socialpolitik. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Susanne Urban & Zoran Slavnic: Recommodification of the Taxi Sector: Changing of Economic Relations and Ethnic Composition This article addresses the socio-economic consequences of the rapid deregulation of the Swedish taxi sector. Foreign-born residents have become more involved in the taxi business, but they have not been integrated in the sector under the same conditions as their Swedish-born fellow workers. Although higher educated, they have lower incomes from the taxi sector than their Swedish-born colleagues. Our findings show how a sector with increasingly poorer working conditions appears to be an attractive employment opportunity for foreign-born citizens. However, at the same time, there is an unintended side-effect, in that the foreign born workers are severely affected by the recommodification processes in the relations between labour market and social policy. Key words: Taxi sector, ethnic segmentation, re-commodifi-cation, deregulation, ethnic divison of labor, informal economy.

The article is devoted to the study of the legal status of private employment agencies. International and European standards in the regulation of private employment agencies are analyzed. The status of private employment agencies in foreign countries as bodies that promote and secure employment of the population has been investigated. Mainly hermeneutic, statistical and functional research methods have been applied. the etiology of the emergence and revision of the traditional concept of labor relations during the collapse of the Soviet system and the beginning of the formation of market relations in the 1990s is investigated. It is established that during the first post-Soviet decade old legal norms of doing business remained; the informal economy flourished in real labor relations; the question of liberalization of labor law was raised at the beginning of the third millennium. In the economic situation, there is a growing demand for loan work. As a rule, such services are provided by representatives of multinational companies, national companies with complex organizational structure and well-established budgeting system, companies undergoing reorganization. According to expert estimates, about 100,000 people are currently employed in loan work in Ukraine, and in view of the new tax rules, this figure is expected to increase by at least half. At the same time, it is concluded that in addition to classical employment in modern Europe and in the world as a whole, there are other forms of employment, in particular its atypical form - borrowed labor (loan). Given the growing role of private employment agencies in the world, including in addressing unemployment, it is necessary to regulate much of the important conditions of borrowing that have been left out of Ukrainian law, which could adversely affect the level of protection of the rights and legitimate interests of workers. The conclusion is made about the expediency of improving the legal regulation of the status of private employment agencies and relations in the sphere of employment and in the national labor legislation of Ukraine.
