This article examines the transformation of approaches to regulating self-employment and platform employment in international countries from 2020 to 2026. It demonstrates that during this period, a fundamental institutional shift occurred, associated with a reassessment of the fiscal and social risks generated by the growth of self-employment. Attention is paid to the judicial practice of countries with an Anglo-Saxon legal system, as well as the development of supranational regulatory mechanisms in the European Union. It concludes that a new regulatory paradigm is emerging, based on the presumption of labor relations and enhanced social protection for platform workers.
