Abstract
Since 2001, « quality of employment » has been at the core of the political, academic and practical agenda, and has fed a wide-ranging debate. For the first time, a scientific work takes stock of legal and normative understanding of quality of employment in Europe. In order to develop an interdisciplinary dialogue, the book underlines the importance of law in the debate on quality of employment and suggests to adapt European concepts and tools, with the purpose of enriching the scientific reflection by a rigorous legal approach. To this end, the authors analyse the relevance of the concept of quality of employment in international, European and comparative law, considering several topics such as collective and labour rights, social security, non-discrimination and equality at work. Moreover, from «Capabilities» perspective, the authors propose concrete and realistic paths for maintaining the European concept of quality of employment and European social Law in the framework of ILO Decent Work Agenda.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
