Abstract. The development of modern tools for implementing the principle of labor freedom contains not only new opportunities to manage one’s abilities for professional activity, but also new challenges for the formation of social security mechanisms. Self-employment, including platform employment, transforms traditional labor law institutions into new categories of social relations. The concept of the unity of social risk determines the relevance of developing models of social insurance for platform employees, allowing them, along with the employed workers, to be subjects of social security payments. In the current paper there has been considered the feasibility of empowering digital platforms with functions to provide social guarantees to the self-employed, the necessity to form associations of platform employees, and there has been modeled a prototype of their powers.

Keywords: self-employment; platform employment; social security; social insurance; social risk; social guarantees; pension provision; Digital Platforms Council.
