The government, which was established in May 2017, proposed the escalated expansion of employment insurance for workers in special employer types as a national task. The amendment bill adopts the same method of applying employment insurance for the occupations those are covered by the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance. As a result, the current legislation that is pending can be interpreted as very limited expansion. In reality, the number of people working at the middle level between self-employed and workers is increasing. In addition, the way of working has also become very diverse. It is one of the challenges our society faces when it comes to unemployed people who work in a very different way in their intermediate positions. This in fact is not a problem of our country alone, but it is a problem that we all are looking for solutions around the world. Italy revised the labor law in 2015, introducing a separate employment insurance system that applies to semi-dependent workers. Italy first legislated the concept of semi-dependent workers and independent workers in addition to the dependent workers to which the labor law applies. They seperate the labor contract and social insurance, and then include the independent into the social insurance. The reform of the Italian employment insurance system could also provide implications for the expansion of the coverage of employment insurance that is currently under discussion in Korea. This article examines the contents of the Italian employment insurance system focusing on the protection of independent workers. In Chapter 2, the basic contents and characteristics of the unemployment insurance system in Italy are indroduced. In Chapter 3, the concept and types of Italian independent workers are examined. Based on this, Chapter 4 examines the emloyment insurance system for independent workers in Italy, and looks at implications for Korea in the conclusion of Chapter 5.
