The essay analyses the concept of employed worker in the light of the expansive trend of labour law. Two perspectives are investigated. The first concerns the revisiting of the concept of employed worker through the interpretation of jurisprudence. Comparative analysis demonstrates a tendency, not univocal but prevalent, of jurisprudence to broaden the notion of subordinate work, which manifests itself through purposive interpretation techniques. The other perspective is that of the creation of intermediate categories, such as that of ‘worker’ in the UK or that of ‘parasubordinato’ work in Italy, or even the notion of ‘economically dependent self-employment’ (Spain, Germany), to which selectively apply some protections of subordinate work. The current challenge of labour law is therefore to be able to respond to changes in the production reality, exemplified by work through a digital platform, to provide adequate protection for new forms of work and new ways in which subordination is expressed.

员工概念的法律和法学演变

本文根据劳动法的发展趋势，对受雇工人的概念进行了分析。研究了两种观点。第一个问题是通过对法学的解释来重新审视雇佣工人的概念。比较分析表明，法学有一种趋势，而不是明确但普遍的，是扩大了下属工作的概念，这通过有目的的解释技术得以体现。另一种观点是创建中间类别，例如英国的“工人”类别或意大利的“ parasubordinato”工作类别，甚至是“经济依赖型自雇”的概念（西班牙，德国），有选择地对其下属工作进行一些保护。因此，当前劳动法的挑战是能够应对生产现实的变化，
