Preface

In recent years, many countries have witnessed the emergence and growth of new forms of employment, driven by economic changes, the adoption of new business models, technological advancement, and continuing digitalization. New ways of organising work and production have been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a further increase in the scale and scope of new forms of employment. These new forms of employment, often characterised by unconventional work relationships and modalities, and the growing number of workers involved in them sparked discussions among policymakers on the development of diverse forms of employment and their potential impact on social protection and working conditions.
