Abstract

The emergence of a statistically significant group of officially registered self-employed is of great interest to scientists, since it makes it possible to study it comprehensively, which was practically impossible with regard to the informal group of self-employed. The researchers were hampered by the degree of legality of the studied group, so they mainly studied potential, rather than real self-employed. The self-employed of Tuva can be divided into two groups. Firstly, these are the so-called traditional self-employed, who represent the types of work typical for the republic. Although, as for the traditional self-employed, they can be called new with a big stretch. They have existed in Tuva for centuries and have been recognized and respected in society, but only recently have they received official recognition. The traditional self-employed include independent arats (shepherds, herders, reindeer herders), embroiderers, stonecutters, shamans, performers of throat singing. Secondly, a group is being formed in the region that can be attributed to the modern self-employed. It is represented by professions belonging to the tertiary sector of the economy. These are hairdressers, beauty industry specialists, babysitters and tutors, repair technicians, car mechanics, i.e. the composition of this group is typical for the self-employed in Russia as a whole.
