Over recent years, the inability of social security protection to
reach workers without a formal employment contract has become an
inconvenient reality in both the global north and south. This book
explores how provisions for income security can be revised to
effectively meet the needs of the labour force in varying
economies. In developing economies, informal employment has
traditionally accounted for a high proportion of overall employment
and this trend looks set to continue. In the global north, the
increasing use of flex-contracts and 'dependent self-employment'
has led to a rise in the number of workers with limited income
protection. An additional challenge for countries in both
hemispheres is the rise of the 'gig' economy. This book is the
first to open up a dialogue about social security coverage in the
developed and developing world. Authors from both sides of the
divide have contributed chapters and present a variety of insights,
experiments and practices with the aim of identifying better ways
to combat the growing social security challenge. Academic
researchers with an interest in labour law and social policy will
find this book to be an engaging source of innovative research.
Practicing lawyers and policy makers will also benefit from the
insights and examples provided from a number of different
jurisdictions. ntributors include: C. Barnard, A. Blackham, E.
