Abstract

I rapporti di lavoro sono uno degli oggetti privilegiati delle riforme portate avanti dai Paesi UE tra ricerca di nuovi equilibri di flessicurezza per l?intera platea dei lavoratori e promozione di occupazione al margine. Esempi di questa seconda fattispecie sono i contratti a zero ore e i mini job, due tipologie contrattuali presenti nelle cassette degli attrezzi del Regno Unito e della Germania federale. Il dispositivo tedesco appare pi? strutturato soprattutto dopo l?entrata in vigore del salario minimo legale nel 2015 e persegue pi? obiettivi: creare occupazione aggiuntiva a basso salario per i lavoratori marginali riducendo il cuneo fiscale e contributivo; ridurre il lavoro sommerso originato dalla committenza famiglie; consentire ai lavoratori e ai ritirati dal lavoro di integrare i loro bassi redditi; promuovere la partecipazione dei second earner (principalmente donne) prevedendo vantaggi fiscali e riducendo i disincentivi; offrire opportunit? di reddito agli studenti; promuovere il reimpiego dei disoccupati. Questi obiettivi sono stati perseguiti con efficacia anche se gran parte del merito ? da attribuire allo stato di salute del sistema produttivo tedesco. Il contratto a zero ore ha ambizioni pi? limitate. Risponde alla domanda di flessibilit? del mercato del lavoro, in linea con la tradizione britannica. Regno Unito e Germania federale hanno scelto di governare la segmentazione non di eliminarla. Il problema per questi Paesi e per gli altri dell?UE ? come regolare i rapporti di lavoro avendo in mente uno zoccolo minimo di diritti e di protezione sociale per tutti i lavoratori (dipendenti, autonomi e nuovi lavoratori "a cottimo") senza perdere dinamismo economico.
