Economic and labour market transformations in Europe have led to an increase in non-standard work and new forms of self-employment as well as an upsurge in transitions from one labour market status to another — with great variations between countries, sectors, age groups and gender. In this context, European social protection systems are facing growing challenges in covering social risks for these workers.
These case studies support the impact assessment on the European Commission initiative "Access to social protection for workers and the self-employed".
They examine gaps in access to social protection for specific types of non-standard forms of employment in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Spain.

IADB (24.03.2018) El futuro del trabajo es un tema cada vez más presente. El interés es creciente, a medida que constatamos cómo se intensifican algunas tendencias, como la automatización o la economía gig, de las que venimos hablando desde hace ya tres años en este mismo blog. Así que es de esperar que, este 2018, el futuro del trabajo sea un tema muy presente en las discusiones sobre mercados laborales y políticas públicas, también en América Latina y el Caribe.
