Abstract. The advent of the fourth industrial revolution has profoundly impacted labour markets, challenging traditional regulatory frameworks, particularly in labour and social security law. As non-standard work arrangements, such as platform work and bogus self-employment, proliferate, the inadequacy of existing legal definitions and protections has become apparent.This article critically examines bogus self-employment, its misclassification issues, and its implications for workers’ rights. It also explores the rapid growth of platform work, analysing the challenges of regulating digital labour platforms under evolving EU directives. Through empirical evidence and case law, we propose a legal framework addressing these emerging work models while emphasizing the urgent need for harmonization across the European Union.

Keywords: bogus self-employment, platform work, labour law, digitalization, employment misclassification
