Abstract

This short chapter systematizes the findings of the contributions collected in the book, highlighting the main coordinates of the debate on autonomous work, and pointing out the issues that deserve further theoretical analysis and policy initiatives. It maintains that the rise of the concept of autonomy has brought more complexity in the employment relations discourse. This paradigm shift cannot be addressed by a simple maintenance of the established categories, but requires a general revision of the concepts and instruments traditionally used to regulate the employment relationship.
