“…This initial definition was later calibrated by Eurostat and summarised in a study by Cie slik and Dvoulet y (2019, p. 299), noting that it is crucial to combine one client (or dominant client) condition with the decision on working hours to capture the most endangered solo ER 45,3 self-employed. In other words, to statistically cover those whom the employer pushes to work under a self-employment contract (Nikulin, 2021).…”

PurposeThis study focusses on dependent self-employment, which covers a situation where a person works for the same employer as a typical worker whilst on a self-employment contractual basis, i.e. without a traditional employment contract and without certain rights granted to “regular” employees.Design/methodology/approachThe research exploits the individual-level dataset of 35 European countries extracted from the 2017 edition of the European Labour Force Survey (EU LFS) and compares the characteristics of employees and dependent self-employed individuals. Methodologically, the study relies on the estimation of a multivariate logistic regression model.FindingsThe main hypothesis assuming that dependent self-employed work most often in low-skilled occupations was empirically supported. There was also a non-linear (u-shaped) relationship between the years of accumulated experience (with a turning point at 35 years) and the likelihood of being dependent self-employed. Other results showed that dependent self-employed are less likely to be women and the dependent self-employed are more likely born outside of the countries where the dependent self-employed participate in the labour markets.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the field by adopting a comparable definition of dependent self-employment and exploiting the recent theoretical support of The Work Precarity Framework. The phenomenon should still be addressed by policymakers and labour office representatives, aiming to protect, primarily, vulnerable lower-skilled workers. The ongoing research should study the longitudinal dimension of dependent self-employment with a focus on motivational aspects.

“…In this context, the protection of social and labour rights is also examined (Bagari, 2020;Eichhorst et al, 2013), and on the basis of Polish legal conditions, proposals are made for the direction of regulation in this area (Moras-Olaś, 2022; Krajewski, 2022). In this context, the following are also examined: social security protection (Muehlberger, Bertolini, 2008;Quinlan, 2012), parental protection (Bagari, Sagmeister, 2022), stability and security of employment (Stewart, Stanford, 2017), involuntariness of dependent selfemployment (Hernanz Martín, Carrasco, 2021) and false self-employment (Nikulin, 2021), as well as differences in the scope of collective bargaining and trade union representation (Quinlan et al, 2009). Therefore, the research undertaken focuses mostly on the legal aspects of employment.…”

The aim of the article is to assess the competitive potential of Poland's regions, in the context of effective strategy building for further development thereof. Design/methodology/approach: The article employs the method of critical investigation of the literature on the subject as well as presents an analysis of statistical data on selected sociotourist infrastructure instruments. An examination of two selected infrastructure elements was carried out for the purpose of the article, which can form a basis for formulation of strategies to improve the competitiveness and development of regions in Poland. Results:The Authors present the issue of regional competitiveness, with particular focus on the methods of assessing and building the competitiveness of regions through selection of an optimal strategy for further development thereof. In this context, two selected instruments of socio-tourist infrastructure are discussed, which can form a basis for formulation of strategies to improve the competitiveness and development of regions in Poland. The infrastructure elements presented serve as an example of areas characterized by great potential for growth, as a consequence of years of neglect (health care), or constrained by independent external COVID-19 pandemic associated conditions (accommodation industry).

“…On the other hand, the formalisation and bureaucracy of the work in the workplace (Seková and Václavíková, 2015) and the rigidity of legal regulations (Campos et al, 2018) prevent putting adequate changes in practice. The problem of dependent self-employment is related to the flexibility of labour market, the issue of undeclared work, and the expanding use of the so-called "švarc" system (false self-employment) (Dvouletý, 2017;Nikulin, 2021;Williams and Horodnic, 2019). Most of these areas, especially the area of hidden employment, are problematic mainly because of increasing social dumping (ILO, 2010).…”

The aim of the paper is to describe dependent self-employment phenomenon on the example of selected EU country -Italy. In Italy, not only hybrid category of dependent selfemployment is officially recognised and legally regulated, but also specific social protection is offered to dependent self-employed persons. Content analysis of relevant literature and legal documents was used to identify specifics of dependent self-employment in Italy. Results indicate that in Italy, regulation of dependent self-employment has undertaken remarkable changes in the past years. The latest labour market reform (Jobs Act) subsumed the most typical forms of dependent self-employment (contracts for "coordinated and continuous collaborations" and contracts based on specific projects) under the protection of Labour law regulation. Despite the persisting controversial attitudes towards this situation, the view of the positive trend in the development of dependent self-employment legislation in Italy prevails.
