La gig economy rappresenta un modello economico fondato su forme di lavoro a chiamata, temporanee e discontinue, in contrasto con l’occupazione stabile e continuativa tradizionalmente associata a maggiori garanzie contrattuali. In questo contesto, la qualificazione del rapporto di lavoro assume un ruolo centrale: essa consente di individuare la reale natura della prestazione – subordinata, autonoma e di applicare le tutele giuridiche appropriate, valutando le modalità concrete di svolgimento dell’attività piuttosto che la mera denominazione contrattuale. La mia tesi si propone di analizzare il funzionamento delle piattaforme digitali, esaminando le principali differenze tra lavoro autonomo e subordinato, per poi soffermarsi sul caso Foodora, approdato in Cassazione nel 2020, che ha sollevato questioni cruciali circa la qualificazione del lavoro dei rider e le relative tutele.

Abstract
The gig economy represents an economic model based on on-call, temporary, and discontinuous forms of work, in contrast to stable, continuous employment traditionally associated with greater contractual guarantees. In this context, the classification of the employment relationship plays a central role: it allows us to identify the true nature of the work—whether subordinate or independent—and to apply appropriate legal protections, evaluating the concrete ways in which the activity is performed rather than the mere contractual name. My dissertation aims to analyze the functioning of digital platforms, examining the key differences between self-employment and employment, and then focusing on the Foodora case, which reached the Supreme Court in 2020 and raised crucial questions regarding the classification of delivery riders' work and the related protections.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
