Monotributors continue to lead the expansion of registered employment

Monotax continues to drive the expansion of registered work, a form of work that is used more and more private companiesespecially in the branches of Services. As of May 2022, it accounted for half of the total employment increase recorded.

In seasonally adjusted terms, it represents a positive change of 0.5% compared to the previous month (59,714 more people). Compared to the same month of the previous year, the work recorded grew by 4.8% (+581.0 thousand employees).

As has been the case for many months, the expansion of registered employment “is mainly explained by the increase in the number of taxpayers to monotax (+ 1.7%, 30,548 people). Compared to May 2021, there are 179,271 more Monotributists.

Monotax represents 14.8% of the total number of registered employees when it reached 13% in May 2019 and 12.2% in May 2016. This type of employment allows the worker not to maintain a dependent relationship even if he has a permanent job at the company or companies. And this looks like an independent worker or “invoice”without the labor and social rights of the employee, who must be fully responsible for the contributions to the Social Security.

The Employment Report indicates that “the group of people with registered wage employment presented a variation without seasonality of 0.3% in the last month (31.2 thousand more employees). This positive change was led by the companies of the private sector (+ 0.4%, 25.2 thousand employees) and from public sector (+ 0.2%; 5.4 thousand employees), while work in private homes shows a positive variation of 0.1% (0.6 thousand employees) “.

Compared to a year ago, “the total number of employees increased by 3.3% (+316.9 thousand employees). This increase is mainly due to the expansion of the private sector (+ 4.1%, 239.6 thousand people) and, secondly, to the growth of the public sector of 2.4% (79.9 thousand more jobs ).

For its part, work in private homes has shown a slight reduction in the last year (-0.5%, 2.5 thousand fewer people) “Excluding the Monotax, the growth in the number of self-employed workers (+ 0.3%, 1.3 thousand more people) in self-employment was unable to compensate for the decline of workers who adhere to the social monotax (-0.8%, 3.4 thousand fewer workers).

In the interannual comparison, self-employment grew by 10.8% (+264.1 thousand workers) in the interannual comparison. The growth dynamics, however, were heterogeneous: the number of workers included in the single social and single attribute showed a significant growth (+ 17.9% and + 10.6% respectively), while the number of taxpayers to the self-employed regime showed growth of 5.1%.
