Abstract: Abstract The article considers widespread types of nonstandard employment among the rural population and main problems associated with their development in border area based on the analysis of statistical and sociological data on rural employment of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. It is revealed that the processes of development of nonstandard forms of employment in the oblast in modern conditions are in its infancy and this situation will continue if conditions remain the same. Currently, the population of rural areas of the region prefers jobs (at agricultural and nonagricultural enterprises) even without official employment, which corresponds to Russian trends. Preference is given to employment with foreign farmers. The overwhelming majority of the population does not see any prospects for developing their own businesses in rural areas; optimistic residents prefer to engage in small-scale trade. The rural population is not ready to use manufacturing decorative and applied products as an additional source of income. Low financial literacy, lack of material resources, and difficult socioeconomic situation in the oblast restrain the active population from developing their own businesses.
