The demythologization of the self-employment trend The demythologization of the self-employment trend In this article we investigate which factors contribute to the growth of the number of self-employed workers and which factors cause a decrease in that number. On the basis of this analysis we make inferences about the probability of continued growth. The factors that contribute to growth and decrease are derived from the available literature and are put into practice in a multivariate analysis, in which a comprehensive set of individual characteristics is used to explain the relative probability of becoming a self-employed worker. From the analysis we can conclude that the relative probability to become a self-employed worker is influenced primarily by age, gender and educational attainment. On the basis of the analysis and the literature we conclude that the growth in the number of self-employed workers is likely to continue, though not to the extent where self-employment is the standard labour relation on the Dutch labour market. However, the growth in self-employment does mean that an increasing number of workers are facing lower levels of income and employment security. A number of policy options to deal with these problems is discussed.

AbstractSince the crisis of Fordism, capitalism has been characterised by the ever more central role of knowledge and the rise of the cognitive dimensions of labour. This is not to say that the centrality of knowledge to capitalism is new per se. Rather, the question we must ask is to what extent we can speak of a new role for knowledge and, more importantly, its relationship with transformations in the capital/labour relation. From this perspective, the paper highlights the continuing validity of Marx's analysis of the knowledge/power relation in the development of the division of labour. More precisely, we are concerned with the theoretical and heuristic value of the concepts of formal subsumption, real subsumption and general intellect for any interpretation of the present change of the capital/labour relation in cognitive capitalism. In this way, we show the originality of the general intellect hypothesis as a sublation of real subsumption. Finally, the article summarises key contradictions and new forms of antagonism in cognitive capitalism.

La LPRL otorga protección genérica a todo trabajador y diferenciada a determinados colectivos, entre ellos los denominados especialmente sensibles. Así, su art. 25 prohíbe adscribir al sujeto a tareas cuyo desarrollo implique peligro para él o terceros debido a las características personales, estado biológico, discapacidad u otra situación transitoria durante la cual no responda a las exigencias psicofísicas del puesto; contexto idóneo para convertir a la vigilancia de la salud en instrumento de selección de mano de obra y en amenaza para intimidad e igualdad. También impone al empresario una atención particularizada, y adoptar medidas preventivas y de protección adecuadas, respecto a empleados cuya sensibilidad surja o sea conocida vigente la relación; el principio de adaptación del trabajo al trabajador exige alejarle del riesgo, forzando, incluso, la movilidad funcional o geográfica (no condicionadas al origen profesional de una eventual dolencia), o impidiéndola, y convirtiendo a la extinción en ultima ratio. El despido por omisión de datos clínicos o personales será nulo (art. 18 CE); únicamente improcedente si la causa de la resolución es la falta de capacidad por enfermedad, pues la jurisprudencia no lo estima discriminatorio.<br /><br />The LPRL provides, with a generic protection for all employees, a specific one, aimed at certain groups; one of this, the "especially sensitive workers". In such a way that its article 25 bans ask the employee, in view of his state of health or capacity, to carry on potentially dangerous activities, for him o for other people. In this context, the surveillance of workers' health condition is a good selection test for the labour and a threat for private life and equality. Also imposes to the entrepreneur a single attention and the obligation of adopt the right preventive and protective measures as regards the employees whose sensitive arises or is known current the labour relation. The principie of adapt the work to the worker requires to move him away from the risk, even forcing the mobility between functions or places (or, even, banning the transfer to a workplace dangerous for him) and turning the dismissal into the last option. The dismissal with origin in the omission of clinical or personal information will be annulled (art. 18 CE); only unfair dismissal if the reason is the lack of capacity because illness, due to according to jurisprudence, it is not discriminatory.
