The objective of this study is to offer a snapshot of the level of unemployment protection provided in Spain to self-employed workers and platform economy workers, compared to employed workers affiliated with the general regime. This allows us to reflect on the convergent and divergent aspects of the protection provided to the two groups, as well as the greater or lesser proximity to the levels of protection indicated by the EU. Thus, the study is structured in three points: the protection afforded to the various groups and the differences in terms of the cessation of activity and unemployment benefit; some of the most characteristic aspects of these two types of unemployment protection; the financing of the cessation of activity benefit and the creation of an alternative protection mechanism as key points in the current Spanish political debate. Our final thoughts are presented in the conclusions.

The article describes the protection against unemployment for self-employed persons and platform workers under Austrian law. The aim is to provide an overview of the respective protection systems. Interpretation issues regarding individual provisions are not discussed in detail, as they are unlikely to yield insights for a comparative study. The article concludes with a brief summary of the current policy debate in Austria.

This article analyses unemployment protection for platform workers and the self-employed in Belgium. In Belgium, the self-employed were traditionally not covered for unemployment, but since the 1990s, several steps have been taken to provide some protection. The scheme in place, now called the ‘bridging right’, has been regularly revised and extended, with the most recent reforms in 2022 and 2023. The Belgian legislator also took some initiatives to regulate platform work, by adopting, for example, legislation on the labour status of platform workers (2022). Platform workers are not treated as a separate category in Belgium with regard to unemployment, and they fall either under the scheme for employees or for the self-employed. In this paper, we will highlight the difficulties faced by platform workers in accessing unemployment protection, both under the scheme for employees and under the self-employed scheme. The analysis in this article shows that although important steps have been taken, several coverage gaps remain, in particular for platform workers, the solo (economically dependent) self-employed and persons who work in self-employment as a side activity.
