Abstract

The article reviews current views of academic economists and practicing economists on the de-standardization of employment. The data for the article was obtained by the author from speakers who presented at the round table «Destandardization of Employment: From Practice to Theory and Vice Versa» on April 3, 2025, as part of the IX St. Petersburg International Labor Forum. Academic economists from nine scientific and scientific-educational organizations and practitioners from three companies of different sectors of the economy discussed the de-standardization of employment from the perspective of the general issues of employment transformation in the context of the digitalization of the economy, labor shortages, and the search for new models of regulation, employee support, and solutions for business. Various forms of employment were considered: from temporary and self-employment to platform-based employment, with a focus on their impact on worker well-being, employment stability, and quality of working life. This years’ experience of jointly participating in the event was rated as successful by representatives of academic economists and practicing economists, and they jointly decided to continue it at next year's anniversary Labor Forum.
