An important component of the NEUJOBS project is its interaction with the policy community. The project is pursuing several avenues to ensure its results are properly “translated” and communicated to such audiences. One of them are policy briefs. This Policy Brief contains policy implications on labour relations and modes of employment (Work Package 6), a collaborative EU-funded research project. NEUJOBS Working Documents are intended to give an indication of work being conducted within the NEUJOBS research project and to stimulate reactions from other experts in the field. The views expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarily represent any institution with which he is affiliated.
