Uno sguardo oltre confine: i “nuovi lavori” della gig economy. Potenzialità e limiti della comparazione

Abstract

Comparative labor law used to look primarily at the set of rules governing labor law institutions in the other Countries. Still, the development of the “platform economy” on a global scale has recently prompted scholars to place a significant weight upon – not only the foreign policies, but also and foremost – the Courts’ rulings regarding the classification of “gig workers” (such as Uber drivers, Foodora and Deliveroo riders, etc.) in the different Jurisdictions. In view of the above, the A. scrutinizes the grounds of the latter decisions with the aim of reflecting on both the potential and the limit of such a comparative effort by those who are in charge of the interpretation of the Domestic laws.
