摘要：Changes in employment status and rising unemployment are global and driven by rapid technological progress. The coronavirus pandemic also played a huge role, increasing the unemployment rate by 2-4% in different economies. The most declining industries are arts, culture and recreation; spheres of education, law and social, communal and state services; trade. Today, the fragmentation of employment up to self-employment and the spread of various forms of precarious work are clearly visible, and there is an inverse relationship between the share of self-employed workers and the GDP of their countries: in 2018, Burundi had the highest level of self-employment in the world - almost 95%. Arab countries posted the lowest self-employment rates at 1.7%. The emergence of new professions and employment profiles opens up a number of opportunities for the unemployed and the self-employed.
