Behavioural study on the effects of an extension of access to social protection for people in all forms of employment.

The need of combining activation and social protection policies is especially challenging when dealing with Non-Standard Work (NSW) as this entails accessibility, transferability and transparency issues. To the best of our knowledge there is no in-depth European multi-country study on the subjects’ attitudes and perceptions on social protection specifically for NSW. Thus, the objective of this study is to gather evidence in support of the European Commission initiative aiming at providing adequate social protection regardless the type of employment contract, in particular on: a) people currently and prospectively on non-standard employment; b) self-employed (with and without employees); c) employers; d) unemployed; e) standard employees.
