metadata.value: The transformation of methods and means of production under the influence of the development
  of digital technologies has led to an increase in the interest of scientists in the problems
  of radically changing labour processes. In the sociological and legal studies of the liberal direction,
  the phenomenon of labour began to be studied separately in the context of the transition
  from the labour practices of an industrial society to the labour practices of an information
  (post-industrial) society. The main conclusions that were made as a result of studying the phenomenon
  of labour in a liberal way were: recognition of the liberating nature of informationtype
  labour and its priority over industrial-type labour; endowing information labour with a
  characteristic of flexibility in comparison with the rigidity of labour in an industrial society.
  From a legal point of view, these conclusions created the preconditions for the deregulation
  (the elimination of protective norms and guarantees) of labour relations both for employees
  of the “endangered” industrial type and for “progressive” information employees. Within the
  framework of this publication, the author set a research task to cancel the four myths of the
  information society, which are most popular in liberal theories: 1) mass release of employees
  employed in industry, due to the computerization of production; 2) flexibility in the labour
  market is an integral part of the transformation of the traditional model of labour relations;
  3) outsourcing is inherent only in industrial type production; 4) the release of a new product
  involves the release of employees due to the inability of the workforce to master modern
  methods of work. As a result of the critical analysis of these myths of the liberal doctrine, the
  author came to the conclusion that it is useless to establish distinctions in the very essence of the labour phenomenon. The author believes that the concept that allows convergence of all
  types of labour in state production chains is the theory of “community of labour” proposed by
  Karl Marx. For labour law, the presence of objective features of the implementation of labour
  processes means the need to deepen research on the differentiation of the legal regulation of
  labour of certain categories of employees, and not to deregulate labour relations.
