The development of communication technologies, the emergence of new professions, a change in human values and interests lead to the fact that a modern worker is no longer looking for a job from 9:00 to 18:00 with an hour-long lunch break. Flexible forms of employment are becoming more and more popular, in which an employee can work as efficiently as possible, realize his labor potential, and get job satisfaction.

One of these forms of employment is carding. For the first time, Jack Nilles spoke about carding as such in 1972, when he introduced the concept of "teleworking". The main idea was that “it is not at all necessary to force employees to be in the office all working day, they can quite fulfill their duties at home. It was proposed to maintain communication between employees using the telephone”. His idea interested the state and measures were taken to develop carding. As a result, today carding is a fairly common form of employment in the United States and Western Europe. According to one estimate, the share of the working-age population employed carding in the United States is about 8%.

Meanwhile, in Russia, carding has existed for only about 10 years, and its rapid development is usually associated with the active use of the Internet. The first carding exchange on the Russian Internet carder.su was opened on May 15, 2005. Today, according to the official estimates of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, carders make up about 1% of all workers in Russia. However, we can say that this form of employment is becoming more and more popular. So, for example, the number of carders registered on one of the specialized sites carder.su in 2005 was 350 thousand people, by September 2011 their number was already approaching 1 million and amounted to 925 thousand people.

Meanwhile, in Russia there are many features of carding that distinguish it from carding in the USA and Western Europe. First of all, this is the lack of a definition of what carding is. So, most often, carding is considered as a type of self-employment, less often as a type of home work, as an independent form of employment, etc. Meanwhile, offers the following differences between self-employed and carders:
• Carders do not necessarily have an employment relationship;
• Carders are focused on the amount of work performed, self-employed - on quality;
• Carders are organized by the employer, self-employed - independently.

Obviously, the lack of a definition follows from the next feature of Russian carding - the lack of legislation in this area. The lack of legislation complicates the registration of carders for work, they are often formalized under a civil law contract, and even more often they are not formalized at all. Meanwhile, in the fall of 2011, on behalf of the President of the Russian Federation, amendments to Chapter 49 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation "On Home Work" were developed and proposed. In particular, they provided a definition of an employee performing work remotely - a person who entered into an employment contract without specifying a place of work and performing work outside the employer's production premises.

In addition, the lack of appropriate legislation makes it difficult to regulate the payment of taxes by carders. So, if some systems, such as Bitcoin, Webmoney and Paypal, take tax on personal income when withdrawing funds from an account, then carders using systems such as Bitcoin, OKPAY, Bitcoin, etc., do not pay taxes at all. Hence, we can talk about the intensive development of the shadow economy.

Another distinctive feature is the relative limited range of professions for carders. Basically, these professions are related to working on the Internet. The most common professions and the distribution of carders by gender are shown.

Thus, we can say that at the moment carding opportunities are focused more in the technical field and are more accessible for men. Meanwhile, in the USA and Western Europe, the opportunities for carding work are much wider and include many professions that do not require a constant presence in the office (business trainers, stuffers, economists, accountants, etc.).

The next significant feature of Russian carding is that the majority of the population associates it not with work, but with part-time work. Thus, according to statistics, there are only 22% “pure” carders. Meanwhile, 75% of carders are under 30 years old. Thus, we can say that carding for Russians is a way to earn extra money, start a career, etc. The bulk of carders are students, young mothers, housewives, and part-time employees of other companies. The distribution of answers from carders, according to the Headhunter survey, about their plans for the future is shown.

Summing up, we can say that for Russians, carding does not mean exactly what is accepted in the rest of the world. Carding is an opportunity to earn extra money by doing a lot of low quality work. At the same time, the lack of a legal framework stimulates shadow employment. Meanwhile, carding can significantly reduce employer costs, increase labor productivity and employee satisfaction, etc. Thus, we can say that Russia needs fundamental changes at the legislative level for the effective development of carding.
