Abstract

The article proposes to deconstruct the essence of the “dependent work” phenomenon into its three dimensions (facts, definitional legal category, normative effects) in order to explore a common ground of concepts and possible definitional categories  that consider the topic from a trans-national perspective. The study is mainly based upon an English-Italian comparison; by means of a “de-constructive theoretical framework”, it argues that some benefits would possibly derive from defining a worker’s dependency just as a measurable fact related to the income as gained by the worker from a unique employer.
