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.
