Reasons and Personal Experience of Informal Employment Among Young People

The article presents the results of the author's sociological research, which show the personal experience of informal employment of young people as a socio-professional group. The dominance of the six-month period of informal employment and the absence of a mutual desire to formalize labor relations both on the part of the employer and on the part of young people are revealed. It is determined that the leading reasons for the spread of informal employment among young people are the desire to combine study and work and the desire to gain work experience close to the profession for the purpose of further employment. It has been established that an inconvenient work schedule and low wages are the main reasons for refusing to work with official registration.
