This article focuses on the appropriateness of the existing binary division of paid employment relations, in the light of the Constitutional principle of the protection of every work (Article 24), given the employment challenges posed by the technological revolution, referred to as Revolution 4.0. This article ends with the conclusion that the precarisation of paid employment today calls for measures to include dependent workers in the scope of labour law regulation. It is, therefore, necessary to move away from the binary distinction between self-employed considered as entrepreneurs and employees in an employment relationship and address labour law regulations to workers with dependent status within the former category.
