Analysts have determined the share of the informal sector based on Rosstat data. The study by the state statistics service talked about the self-employed, sole proprietors and business employees who do not have registration as a legal entity. Such employees may include taxi drivers, construction workers, as well as lawyers and doctors working outside the corporate sector.

The total number of "informal workers" in the country reached 14.4 million, which was the highest since the end of 2021. Thus, every fifth Russian worker is not employed at an officially registered enterprise.
The maximum number of informal employees is recorded in Chukotka, the capital and St. Petersburg.
Recall that today it was reported that more than 60% of Russians supported raising the income threshold for the self-employed. They consider an acceptable amount of earnings of 4.8 million rubles per year instead of the current 2.4 million.
