This article advances a simple analytic framework to address issues of the design of labour market regulations as well as raise awareness of how these regulations are continuously affected by transformations in the world of work. While the role of labour market regulations in ensuring more inclusive labour markets and reducing inequality is critical, its influence will depend on aspects besides just the ‘level’ at which protection is set. As a result, policies to strengthen labour market institutions should also consider issues of coverage and compliance when choosing which policies to prioritize and how to design policy reforms.

Questo saggio traccia un semplice quadro analitico allo scopo di affrontare questioni relative alla natura dei sistemi di regolazione del mercato del lavoro e al contempo di accrescere la consapevolezza sul modo in cui essi sono continuamente influenzati dalle trasformazioni del mondo del lavoro. Mentre il ruolo delle regolazioni del mercato del lavoro nel garantire mercati del lavoro più inclusivi e ridurre le disuguaglianze è controverso, la sua influenza dipenderà da aspetti ben oltre il "livell"- al quale è fissata la protezione. Di conseguenza, le politiche per rafforzare le istituzioni del mercato del lavoro dovrebbero anche prendere in considerazione i problemi di copertura e di conformità al momento di scegliere a quali politiche dare la priorità e come progettare riforme politiche.
