Abstract

The paper begins with a description of digitalization
of work. The negative effects are
the first to be examined and subsequently the
positive effects are presented. Five outcomes
with double effects (a negative and a positive
one) arise from the analysis of digitalization
on employment and productivity. Further, the
implications of digital work on social security
are illustrated, as well as the legal lacunae at
a national, European and international level.
Lastly, we conclude to suggestions which
could counterbalance the negative effects and
enhance the positive ones utilizing techniques
from the European legal order.
