An Effective protection against unemployment for self-employed and platform workers? The intriguing case of Denmark 为自营职业者和平台工作者提供有效的失业保护?丹麦耐人寻味的案例

This article discusses whether self-employed and platform workers in Denmark have effective access to the unemployment insurance scheme. The Danish case is intriguing in a comparative context. Unlike other European States, it has been possible in Denmark for the self-employed to formally access the unemployment scheme since 1976. The system is also interesting as it is rather flexible, and was recently adapted to meet the challenges of changing work patterns and an increase in atypical forms of work, such as platform work. Yet, it is argued that important barriers to effective coverage remain. Some barriers, such as the voluntary character of the insurance and its eligibility criteria, are common to all persons with low and irregular work. Other barriers are specific to the self-employed and relate to the conditions for proving the closing down of business, and to waiting periods.
本文讨论了丹麦的自营职业者和平台工人是否能有效利用失业保险计划。从比较的角度来看,丹麦的情况是耐人寻味的。与其他欧洲国家不同,自 1976 年以来,丹麦的自营职业者就可以正式加入失业保险计划。这一制度也很有趣,因为它相当灵活,而且最近进行了调整,以应对工作模式不断变化以及平台工作等非典型工作形式增加所带来的挑战。然而,有观点认为,有效覆盖的重要障碍依然存在。有些障碍,如保险的自愿性质及其资格标准,是所有从事低薪和非正规工作的人所共有的。其他障碍是自营职业者所特有的,与证明企业倒闭的条件和等待期有关。

This special issue of the European Journal of Social Security explores the complexities of extending unemployment insurance to the self-employed and platform workers in the EU Member States and the steps taken at EU level to enforce the protection offered at national level. Traditionally, social security systems have been designed for standard employment relationships, leaving a typical workers and the self-employed inadequately protected. The European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR), adopted in 2017, and the subsequent 2019 Recommendation on access to social protection have marked a shift towards more inclusive social security frameworks. However, significant gaps in coverage remain, in particular with regard to unemployment protection for the self-employed and platform workers. The special issue is divided into three parts: national perspectives, comparative studies and EU-level discussions.
本期《欧洲社会保障期刊》特刊探讨了欧盟成员国将失业保险扩展至自营职业者和平台工人的复杂性,以及欧盟为在国家层面实施所提供的保护而采取的措施。传统上,社会保障体系是为标准雇佣关系设计的,使得典型的工人和自营职业者得不到充分的保护。2017 年通过的 "欧洲社会权利支柱"(EPSR)以及随后的 2019 年 "关于获得社会保护的建议 "标志着向更具包容性的社会保障框架的转变。然而,覆盖面仍存在巨大差距,尤其是在自营职业者和平台工作者的失业保护方面。本特刊分为三个部分:国家视角、比较研究和欧盟层面的讨论。

The rights to social security and social assistance in the European Social Charter: Towards a positive content…but what sort of content? 欧洲社会宪章》中的社会保障和社会援助权利:争取积极的内容......但什么样的内容?
IF 0.7 Q3 PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION Pub Date : 2024-08-23 DOI: 10.1177/13882627241270475

The rights to social security and social assistance are protected by the European Social Charter and its quasi-judicial body, the European Committee of Social Rights. Less is known about the precise content of these rights. Following a decision, published on 15 February 2023, on a collective complaint lodged by the Finnish Society of Social Rights, an NGO, this paper proposes to critically question the positive content given by the Committee to these rights, when it attaches – and even assimilates – certain legal requirements to one specific social indicator, the poverty threshold, defined restrictively.
社会保障和社会援助的权利受到《欧洲社会宪章》及其准司法机构欧洲社会权利委员会的保护。人们对这些权利的确切内容知之甚少。根据 2023 年 2 月 15 日公布的一项关于非政府组织芬兰社会权利协会提出的集体申诉的决定,本文建议对委员会赋予这些权利的积极内容提出批判性质疑,因为委员会将某些法律要求附加--甚至同化--到一个具体的社会指标上,即贫困线,并对其进行了限制性定义。

Reaching the European 2030 poverty target: The imperative to balance the EU social agenda 实现欧洲 2030 年减贫目标:平衡欧盟社会议程的当务之急

Reaching the three targets of the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) Action Plan is the litmus test for effective EPSR implementation. While the EPSR puts forward a prima facie balance between employment, equal opportunities and social protection, two important questions arise: a) whether and to what extent the resources available at EU level are sufficiently balanced across the different dimensions of the EPSR; and b) which implications this may have for achieving the 2030 poverty target. Analysing the three domains of the EPSR, its Action Plan and the wider EU legal framework of the principles contained in the EPSR, the paper argues that abundant EU resources are available for the areas of equality and employment, but fewer for social inclusion. The empirical evidence on poverty trends over the past decades, however, points to important successes in terms of employment and (gender) equality, but not with respect to social inclusion: a significant increase in employment and defeminisation of poverty have been accompanied by greater precarity for low-skilled men and women. Particularly striking is the rise in the risk of poverty among jobless households, linked with the weakening of the poverty reduction capacity of social protection for this group. Meeting the European social inclusion targets will thus require policies that duly focus on strengthening the framework for social inclusion and social protection.
实现欧洲社会权利支柱(EPSR)行动计划的三个目标是有效实施 EPSR 的试金石。虽然《欧洲社会权利支柱计划》提出了就业、平等机会和社会保护之间的初步平衡,但仍出现了两个重要问题:a) 欧盟层面的可用资源是否以及在多大程度上充分平衡了《欧洲社会权利支柱计划》的不同方面;b) 这可能对实现 2030 年减贫目标产生哪些影响。本文分析了《经济、社会和文化权利国际公约》的三个领域、其《行动计划》以及《经济、社会和文化权利国际公约》所载原则的更广泛的欧盟法律框架,认为欧盟为平等和就业领域提供了大量资源,但为社会包容领域提供的资源较少。然而,有关过去几十年贫困趋势的经验证据表明,在就业和(性别)平等方面取得了重大成就,但在社会包容方面却并非如此:在就业大幅增加和贫困女性化的同时,低技能男性和女性的不稳定性却在增加。尤为突出的是,无业家庭的贫困风险上升,这与社会保护对这一群体的减贫能力减弱有关。因此,要实现欧洲的社会包容目标,就必须制定政策,适当注重加强社会包容和社会保护框架。

Unemployment insurance for platform workers: Challenges and approaches from a comparative perspective 平台工人的失业保险:从比较角度看挑战和方法
IF 0.7 Q3 PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION Pub Date : 2024-08-06 DOI: 10.1177/13882627241267989

This contribution presents an overview of the challenges involved in ensuring that persons performing platform work (as either employees, self-employed, or in a third category) are able to effectively access unemployment insurance protection. It also addresses the specific approaches taken by European countries to tackle these challenges, relying especially on the contributions to this special issue on unemployment protection for the self-employed and platform workers.After presenting a brief definition of platform work, the contribution provides an overview of the main challenges linked to unemployment protection insurance posed by the features of platform work; we use primarily the Council Recommendation on access to social protection for workers and the self-employed as an evaluative framework. These challenges relate to both formal exclusion (due to classification as self-employed or marginal work) and effective exclusion (due to difficulties meeting minimum work requirements and lack of transparency on algorithmic management and platform work). The contribution then analyses some of the main approaches taken by European countries to address such challenges. Actions targeting platform work comprise (a) employment status reclassification; (b) establishment of a presumption of an employment relationship; (c) the setting of requirements to inform on the use of algorithmic management; (d) facilitation of transparency on platform work information; and (e) exemption from formal social security coverage of some forms of (marginal) platform work. General approaches with consequences for the unemployment insurance protection of platform workers include the application of the same criteria for access to unemployment benefits across employment statuses, as well as greater leniency on these criteria for certain forms of non-standard work. The contribution ends with a conclusion, which highlights the main gaps in unemployment insurance protection for platform work, and discusses avenues for action regarding platform work.
这篇论文概述了在确保从事平台工作的人员(作为雇员、自营职业者或第三类人员)能够有效获得失业保险保护方面所面临的挑战。在简要介绍了平台工作的定义之后,本文概述了平台工作的特点给失业保护保险带来的主要挑战;我们主要将理事会关于工人和自营职业者获得社会保护的建议书作为评估框架。这些挑战涉及正式排斥(由于被归类为自营职业或边缘工作)和实际排斥(由于难以达到最低工作要求以及算法管理和平台工作缺乏透明度)。随后,文章分析了欧洲国家为应对这些挑战而采取的一些主要方法。针对平台工作的行动包括:(a) 就业身份重新分类;(b) 建立雇佣关系推定;(c) 设定使用算法管理的告知要求;(d) 促进平台工作信息的透明度;(e) 将某些形式的(边缘)平台工作排除在正式社会保障范围之外。对平台工人的失业保险保护产生影响的一般方法包括:对不同就业状况适用相同的失业救济金领取标准,以及对某些形式的非标准工作在这些标准上更加宽松。文章最后得出结论,强调了失业保险对平台工作保护方面的主要差距,并讨论了就平台工作采取行动的途径。

Bridge to security: Exploring unemployment insurance for solo self-employed in Estonia 安全之桥:探索爱沙尼亚个体自营职业者的失业保险

The COVID-19 crisis highlighted the need for better access to unemployment insurance, particularly for solo self-employed workers. Traditionally seen as entrepreneurs bearing their own risks, the line between employment and entrepreneurship for solo self-employed has blurred, raising questions about adequate social protection. This shift is largely attributed to the rise of platform work, often linked with dependent self-employment and a precarious social security landscape for workers. In Estonia, where solo self-employment is increasingly common, access to unemployment insurance and the level of protection depends on the workers’ awareness and intent, as well as the approach adopted by task-mediating platforms in the case of platform workers. While the self-employed, including platform workers, can access insurance by opting for certain legal forms of work and making regular contributions, effective access remains limited. Low and irregular income poses eligibility challenges, and certain legal forms of self-employment can hinder access to benefits, despite eligibility through other means. In the long run, these challenges could undermine the sustainability of Estonia's social security system, emphasising the critical need for comprehensive reforms to ensure equitable access to unemployment insurance for all self-employed individuals, including those engaged in platform work.
COVID-19 危机凸显了更好地获得失业保险的必要性,尤其是对个体自营职业者而言。传统上,个体自营职业者被视为自担风险的创业者,但他们的就业与创业之间的界限已变得模糊,从而引发了有关适当社会保护的问题。这种转变在很大程度上归因于平台工作的兴起,而平台工作往往与依附性自营职业和工人不稳定的社会保障状况联系在一起。在爱沙尼亚,个体自营职业越来越普遍,失业保险的获取和保护水平取决于工人的意识和意图,以及任务中介平台对平台工人所采取的方法。虽然包括平台工作者在内的自营职业者可以通过选择某些合法的工作形式并定期缴费来获得保险,但有效获得保险的机会仍然有限。低收入和不固定收入带来了资格方面的挑战,某些合法的自雇形式可能会阻碍获得福利,尽管通过其他途径获得了资格。从长远来看,这些挑战可能会破坏爱沙尼亚社会保障体系的可持续性,这就强调了迫切需要进行全面改革,以确保包括从事平台工作的人在内的所有自营职业者都能公平地获得失业保险。

Unemployment protection for the self-employed and platform workers in Hungary 匈牙利对自营职业者和平台工人的失业保护
IF 0.7 Q3 PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION Pub Date : 2024-07-25 DOI: 10.1177/13882627241263176

This article analyses unemployment protection for platform workers and the self-employed in Hungary. Hungarian legislation lacks a separate, well-designed system for the self-employed and platform workers, who consequently fall under the general unemployment scheme. The Hungarian unemployment scheme is fundamentally a compulsory, Bismarckian-type of unemployment insurance financed by contributions, which acts as compensation for loss of work. The Hungarian legislation also contains a system of services and subsidies that could be considered as a separate protection scheme also addressing unemployment. In this case, the protection provided compensates absence of work, rather than a lack of work. This contribution presents the protection available under Hungarian law for the self-employed and platform workers, via an in-depth analysis of the entitlement conditions, contribution base, and the amount, duration and financing of the unemployment benefit. In this paper we also highlight the difficulties and consequences of the taxation regime for the self-employed and platform workers. As they can pay contributions based on favourable tax rules, these lower social security contributions result in lower unemployment benefits.
本文分析了匈牙利对平台工人和自营职业者的失业保护。匈牙利立法没有为自营职业者和平台工人单独设计完善的制度,因此他们属于一般失业计划的范围。匈牙利的失业计划从根本上说是一种强制性的、俾斯麦式的失业保险,由缴费资助,作为对失去工作的补偿。匈牙利立法还包含一个服务和补贴制度,可被视为一个单独的保护计划,也解决失业问题。在这种情况下,所提供的保护是对没有工作的补偿,而不是对没有工作的补偿。本文通过深入分析失业救济金的领取条件、缴费基数、金额、期限和资金来源,介绍了匈牙利法律为自营职业者和平台工作者提供的保护。在本文中,我们还强调了税收制度给自营职业者和平台工作者带来的困难和后果。由于他们可以根据优惠的税收规则缴费,这些较低的社会保障缴费导致了较低的失业救济金。

The aim of this paper is to examine if and how the reclassification of platform workers from self-employment status to employment status can provide them with adequate social security protection. Little is known about how this transition would guarantee platform workers adequate social protection within the social protection scheme for employees. National social security schemes, in particular income replacement benefit schemes, often (still) depart from the standard employment relationship, leading to lower protection for atypical work forms. Platform workers combine several of the characteristics of atypical forms of work, such as low earnings, irregular working patterns and working. Integrating platform workers into employee social security schemes faces additional challenges due to the online nature of their work, algorithmic management, high levels of unpaid labor, and employer identification difficulties. This paper focuses on unemployment protection, as EU Member States struggle to provide adequate protection for workers with irregular work patterns and income fluctuations, in the case of (short term) income replacement benefits. By constructing nine ideal work patterns reflective of diverse nature of platform work and current practices among platform work, we analyse how different types of ‘employed’ platform workers may fare within the legislation of three EU countries (Belgium, Italy, and the Netherlands). This approach allows us to assess the applicability of unemployment protection to different working patterns among 'employed' platform workers, considering formal, effective, and adequate access to unemployment schemes as outlined in the Council Recommendation on access to social protection for workers and the self-employed (2019).
本文旨在探讨将平台工人从自雇身份重新分类为就业身份能否以及如何为他们提供充分的社会保障保护。人们对这一转变如何保证平台工人在雇员社会保障计划内获得充分的社会保障知之甚少。国家社会保障计划,特别是收入替代福利计划,往往(仍然)偏离标准雇佣关系,导致对非典型工作形式的保护较低。平台工人兼具非典型工作形式的几个特点,如收入低、工作模式不规则和工作。由于其工作的在线性质、算法管理、高水平的无偿劳动以及雇主识别困难,将平台工人纳入雇员社会保障计划面临更多挑战。本文的重点是失业保障,因为欧盟成员国在(短期)收入替代福利方面,努力为工作模式不固定、收入波动大的工人提供充分的保障。通过构建九种理想的工作模式,反映平台工作的不同性质和平台工作的现行做法,我们分析了不同类型的 "受雇 "平台工人在三个欧盟国家(比利时、意大利和荷兰)的立法中可能会受到的待遇。这种方法使我们能够评估失业保护对 "受雇 "平台工作者不同工作模式的适用性,同时考虑到《关于工人和自营职业者获得社会保护的理事会建议》(2019 年)中概述的正规、有效和充分的失业计划。
