The problems of employment in the informal sector of the economy in connection with the problems of formalization of the labor market and the legalization of labor relations are actively studied by both Russian and foreign specialists. The purpose of this study is to identify the nature and trends of changes that occurred under the influence of the force majeure factor of the COVID-19 pandemic in the employment segment of informal sector in the Russian labor market. Based on Rosstat data for 2017-2022, the authors of the article give an expert assessment of the change in the scale and structure of employment in the informal sector. New trends in the dynamics of its sectoral structure in the post-pandemic period are characterized. When comparing individual regions of Russia, the opposite trends of changing the role of the informal sector in providing employment are emphasized. The analysis allowed the authors to make assumptions about the risk of increasing the potential of shadow employment in the informal sector and its causes, as well as to make individual recommendations for taking into account current changes in the labor market when implementing the policy of transition from the informal economy to the formal and improving the measures of state employment policy.The results of the study can be used by the executive authorities of the federal and regional levels in the preparation of legislative initiatives in the field of informal employment regulation.

The complex of derived categories and concepts developed by the author, which are necessary to describe the subject area of occupational safety and health in the process of its transformation in the conditions of the modern economy, is presented. The method of mutations is applied within the framework of the categorical and system methodology. Mutations of the second level concepts, deciphering the basic category of "occupational safety and health", allowed to determine the main directions of the transformation of the occupational safety and health system in the conditions of the modern economy. The basic characteristics of occupational safety and health are revealed. They are as follows: consistency, security and efficiency. They reflect the essence and content of occupational safety and health in the process of its transformation. This makes it possible to form synthesized categories describing the phenomenon of occupational safety and health with the necessary and sufficient completeness and accuracy. The results of the research contribute to the formation of a systematic understanding of occupational safety and health in the framework of further development of the scientific theory of occupational safety and health.
