During last decades in the European countries, some relevant changes in the labour market happened with the increase of unstable and atypical jobs. The increasing diffusion of flexible forms of employment has also shaped the perspective on the systems of employment-related guarantees and other forms of social protections. These transformations has been critical for those welfare systems soundly built on salary-employment and thus largely based on employment- related social benefits. In this complex and diversified context some of the traditional inequalities linked to the labour market have worsen. This article explores the relation between the new forms of job and the concept of citizenship. In particular it put the focus on the relations between job instability and the social rights access.
