| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The central question of this project was, "How can we envision social policy norms to reconnect work and welfare, given the situation in which employment is becoming informal again with the advent of the digital economy?" Initially, we thought formal employment protected by the welfare state should be the norm, but that alone cannot be called decent work. Work should also be meaningful. However, meaningful and protected work is becoming difficult to maintain. It may be necessary not only to reconnect work and welfare but also to separate them partially. One idea would be to combine a basic income, which is social protection that is not conditional on employment, with social investment that supports a sense of purpose in life.

本研究は、グローバル社会政策の視野からインフォーマル雇用の問題に取り組んだところに学術的な新しさがある。すなわち、先進国における雇用のインフォーマル化を捉えるだけでなく、新興国や途上国も視野に入れて考察することを試みた。また、コロナ禍という新たな事態のなかで、オンライン調査の分析を通して、多様なインフォーマル性を抱えた国内労働者が直面する困難のタイムリーな把握にも努めた。
