Abstract

This is an opening theoretical chapter to the book which explains the difficulties that many flexible workers face in accessing social security as they have no employment contract. The chapter identifies a theoretical framework which needs to be developed to enable such workers to gain social security. The basis of this new framework involves elements of both flexibility and security. The authors develop such a framework on the basis of transitional labour market theory.
