Labour
 and social security law studies have addressed the topic of the decline
 of the standard employment relationship mainly from the point of view 
of the growing number of atypical relationships. Only a limited number 
of studies have examined the issue from the perspective of the 
differentiation between core and contingent work. Such an examination is
 necessary as the increase in contingent work leads to complicated legal
 questions which vary between European states depending on the type of 
contingent arrangements that have become most prevalent. This book 
analyses, using a comparative approach, these different types of 
contingency from a national and EU perspective touching on the work 
relationship from a labour as well as a social security point of view. 
The aim of the book is to identify and analyse those questions adopting 
an innovative approach and to put forward proposals for safeguarding 
social cohesion within undertakings and European society.
