Resumen:
The last twenty years have seen an increase in the participation of outsourced workers in most national labour markets. Many of these own-account workers can be considered dependent self-employed workers because they are formally self-employed; however, since they depend economically on a contractor, their working conditions are similar to those of wage employees. Since this hybrid status has characteristics of both wage employment and self-employment, problems inherent to workers in this category are limited job security and restricted access to a social security system. The main aim of this research is to analyze the development of rules governing the participation of independent workers in a particular labour market: the public labour market. We argue that the application of different regulations concerning self-employed workers, however unintentional, have allowed dependent self-employment to become a legal, legitimate, and common status in public administration in Argentina.
