Le forme del lavoro associato con particolare riguardo all'associazione in partecipazione

The thesis has three chapters. The first one focuses in general on the associated employment, trying to give a unitary perspective and to show the several readings given by scholars. In detail, the thesis underlines the peculiar features of the associated employment relationships. The following chapters deal with the contract of ?associazione in partecipazione? labour intensive. In the second chapter, this contract is analysed as it was originally provided by the Civil Code, with references to the relevant jurisprudence. In the third chapter, the thesis stresses the most outstanding characteristics of the contract in recent years, analysing all the legislative reforms in the field (in particular article 86, par. 2, Decree n. 276 of 2003 and its consequences in terms of social contribution), trying to interpret them in the present context.
