Abstract
Informal labour has become one of the main ways of earning income and a reason for non-payment of taxes to the state budget. Governments and international organisations are making many efforts to study the phenomenon of informal labour and formulate proposals for further formalisation of informal labour to «come out of the shadows» of activities in various fields. The relevance of our study is due to the rapid spread of informal employment and informal labour in various spheres of society, which entails economic losses for each state and a lack of faith in the declared labour relations. The purpose of the study is to identify possible ways and prospects for formalising informal labour, to determine the legal aspects of formalising informal labour, to analyse the challenges to the social protection of workers in the course of such formalisation, and to improve the current labour legislation. The author formulated legal conclusions on the legal aspects of formalisation of informal labour, the ways of such formalisation and its prospects. In particular, conclusions on social challenges for all participants in the so-called informal labour relations were provided. Finally, proposals for improving the legislation on informal employment were formulated.
