Abstract
The article presents an analysis of the non-profit sector from the point of view of modern theories of class. It is shown that, based on the classical class theory, people working in nonprofit sector can be classified as a class of employees, and the class of self-employed. At the present stage the employment in the nonprofit sector (regardless of country affiliation) has some characteristics peculiar to the new social "class of the exploited" - prekariat.
