The course frames labour law as a law aimed at protecting the weaker party to the employment contract and at the same time as a law which, regulating the use of labour as a factor of production, guarantees the utmost possible efficiency of production in the economic system.
Against this background, the course aims to provide students with knowledge, skills and competences for the correct exercise of individual autonomy within the framework defined by legal and collective agreement regulations and the economic-productive needs to which management choices respond.

To this end, the main regulations and institutes of labour law will be examined in depth, also with reference to the challenges posed by a changing world of work, particularly due to the digital transition (digitalisation; Industry 4.0; Artificial Intelligence and algorithms, etc.).

Expected results:
Knowledge, comprehension and analysis skills: students acquire specific knowledge of the fundamental institutes of labour law and the main employment contracts.
Applied knowledge skills: students acquire the necessary skills to analyse the regulatory and contractual-collective framework allowing them to respond to specific production and organisational needs of the business and to orient themselves in this context in order to make optimal choices from an economic and legal point of view.
Communication skills: students acquire an awareness of the legal language and learn to argue their own positions with respect to the issues dealt with and the cases brought to their attention.
