SOCIAL SECURITY LAW

The teaching aims to provide knowledge of the regulations concerning social security, focusing on the staff's management, both dependant or self-employed workers.
The course also offers methodological notions useful for analysing the subjects from a more strictly legal point of view, allowing the student to orient his/herself as an employee or self-employed worker, as well as employer, manager or business consultant. Specific attention will be granted to the Italian social security system's evolutions as a consequence of the outbreak that hit the country in 2020.

Attendance and active participation in the activities offered on the course and individual study will allow students to:
- acquire the knowledge of fundamental institutions and notions of social security law;
- apply this knowledge to face and resolve specific problems posed within small and big companies;
- orient his/her self in today's social security system, both as a worker and as a company manager.

The knowledge of private law and labour law elements is useful.

Analysis of the main institutions and notions of social security. Evolution of social security, sources and parties, kinds of protection and funding. Rules and institutions. Specific focuses will be held concerning the new Italian "basic income" and the measures to address the crisis caused by the epidemiologic emergency of 2020.
