Where do you work, exactly?
It's the simplest question in employment law. And it's become the hardest.
Today in Corriere della Sera — Italy's leading newspaper — I explored what happens when work loses its address: who pays the taxes, who pays social security contributions, which law applies, who provides insurance coverage. These are questions that already affect millions of workers and companies worldwide — and most organizations have yet to address them in a structured way.
Employment law was built around the factory, then adapted to the office. Now it must come to terms with the living room, the train, a coworking space in Lisbon. And the law hasn't found the right words yet.
Work without an address is not the future. It is the present. The real challenge is writing rules that match this freedom — before freedom turns into precarity.
