Abstract: The methods for studying the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of those employed on digital labor platforms are discussed. The Federal State Statistics Service does not conduct a relevant study as part of its annual labor force survey. Other official data are also not available. It is found that platform employment is about 6.5 million people, of whom 29.9% are women and 70.1% men. Most of them are employed in the field of recruitment, the second place is occupied by cab services, the least of all platform workers are employed in tutoring and training. The questionnaire survey showed a small percentage of citizens’ involvement in platform employment. However, a sample survey of the population in the form of a questionnaire is the most effective method for studying qualitative characteristics of platform employment.
