Klappentext The issue of who is or is not in an employment relationship has become problematic in recent decades, as a result of major changes in work organization, as well as in the adequacy of legal regulation in adapting to such changes. In different parts of the world, there is increasing difficulty in establishing whether or not an employment relationship exists in situations: where the respective rights and obligations of the parties concerned are not clear, where there has been an attempt to disguise the employment relationship, or where inadequacies or gaps exist in the legal framework or in its interpretation or application. Vulnerable workers appear to suffer most in these situations.
