摘要

The concluding observations start from the finding that employment law (particularly in establishing and securing a Standard Employment Relationship) besides its protective function simultaneously has a segmenting function, where gender, race and other categories play a decisive role. Whereas in the Global North it creates general incentives for full-time and permanent employment through a grading of protection, in the Global South it serves to contract a workforce for producing raw materials and supports an extractivist mode of production. Legal-politically, legal segmentation requires radical reforms considering not only the various arenas of labour regulation, but also the fields beyond labour relations—e.g. family, tax, housing, infrastructure etc. The chapter outlines steps in this direction. These intend to shape employment law in such a manner that it does not continue to systemically reproduce the inequalities brought about or reinforced by legal segmentation.
