Self-employment in the Russian Federation is a special tax regime; tax on personal income is a simplified form of
entrepreneurship. The self-employed are often associated with freelancers. The exponential growth of information
increases uncertainty, and the development of digitalization levels out uncertainty. This work analyses the factors
influencing the digitalization development of self-employment as an integral indicator that can affect the
sustainability of self-employment. The main method used is a topological method based on the polymerase chain
reaction method, as well as the model based on fuzzy sets theory – Mamdani fuzzy inference algorithms. The data
for the study were collected through a survey posted on Google Forms. The respondents were experts in the selfemployment sector. Eight people participated in the survey (4 – self-employed; 4 – university professors). The selfemployed comprised the following areas: developer – 1; service worker – 1; online marketer – 1; musician, event
host – 1. Further calculations were performed in Mathlab. According to the study results, the level of factors in the
development of self-employed digitalization is 0.502, which corresponds to the third interval of the five-level
classifier and has growth potential.
The study was supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation (project No. 20-78-00100).
