Year: 2026
Type: report
Abstract: The INDI project (Integrating Diversity in Social Dialogue: Strengthening the EU Labour Market in the Digital and Green Age), funded by Horizon Europe (101177913), examines how social dialogue can better include non-standard workers in a transforming labour market shaped by digital and green transitions. Focusing on the EU, the UK and Norway, the project explores existing and emerging models of worker voice and representation, with the aim of preventing rising inequality, in-work poverty, and social exclusion. The legal pillar in the project presents a legal analysis that aims to evaluate the impact of EU and national legal frameworks as barriers or facilitators for inclusion of non-standard workers in social dialogue, with a focus on reform recommendations. With a four-step analysis, this will contribute to the realization of the aim of the INDI-project of creating a more cohesive, effective, and legally robust environment for social dialogue, by addressing and proposing enhancements to the existing legal framework. Part 1 is the first step and focuses on the existing legal framework at a national level, with an aim to identify and compare legal obstacles and facilitators for access to social dialogue for non-standard workers in selected national systems. The analytical framework for the analysis is presented in a separate working paper (deliverable 2.1). This has guided analysis of facilitators and obstacles in national law in Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom. This report is the first report on Denmark.
