Abstract: Abstract The focus of this book is work relationships where the worker is formally self-employed but the conditions of work are similar to those of employees. Although they work exclusively (or mainly) for a specific firm (i.e. the outsourcing firm), workers are neither clearly separated from the firm they contract with nor clearly integrated. These work relationships are not based on employment contracts, but on private contracts between a self-employed worker and the outsourcing firm.
