The Challenges of Labour and Insurance Protection in Non-Standard Forms of Employment

Abstract

Part of the newly appeared, over the last 25 years, non-standard forms of work do not fall within the scope of labor and social security legislation, while the rest are covered to a certain extent. Therefore, the purpose of the present work is to examine the challenges for the national governments in adapting labor legislation to the new conditions of the labor market and to propose possible measures in this direction. In pursuit of the set goal, the author sets himself the following tasks: 1) To investigate the preconditions that led to the appearance and rapid spread of non-standard forms of employment; 2) To point out the factors complicating the regulation of labor standards and the insurance protection of persons engaged in non-standard employment; 3) To look for and propose opportunities for regulatory and control measures in non-standard forms of employment, as well as to present some good examples of government initiatives.
