Italian Labour Law e-Studies

This volume aims to explore the topic of digital transformations in the world of work from different perspectives. It proposes multiple insights about the role played by legislators and social partners in regulating the phenomenon. The proposed reading of the phenomenon from an anthropocentric, sustainable and resilient perspective allows for an innovative approach to the issues underlying the digitalization of work.

La lettura del fenomeno proposta, che si colloca in una visione antropocentrica, sostenibile e resiliente, consente un approccio innovativo alle questioni sottese alla digitalizzazione del lavoro.
