All EU governments quickly made unprecedented economic and social support available to tackle the consequences of the pandemic (Baptista et al.
2021; European Commission 2021).
Regarding social protection and social inclusion measures, in most cases the eligibility conditions of the schemes were relaxed, the benefits were upgraded and ad hoc benefits and innovative measures were introduced (Baptista et al.
2021; Spasova et al.
2021).

At the same time, the consequences of the pandemic also highlighted that – to rephrase George Orwell’s expression − ‘all workers are equal, but some workers are more equal than others’ regarding access to social protection.
The Covid‑19 pandemic severely affected some categories of non-standard workers, and particularly the self‑employed.

The emergency measures cushioned the potentially disastrous effect on their social circumstances, but undeniably highlighted even more the gaps in their access and entitlement to social protection benefits (Eurofound 2021; Pulignano et al.

While the first report of this joint project of the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) and the European Social Observatory (OSE) mapped the measures taken in relation to unemployment benefits, sickness benefits and leave for non- standard workers and the self‑employed (Spasova et al.
2021), this edited volume comprises eight country case studies: Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal, Romania and Sweden.
These case studies have been produced by independent national experts.

This assessment – although currently only partial, as the pandemic measures are still on‑going and research is scarce − is a valuable contribution, describing the main issues encountered by some specific labour market groups regarding access to social protection.
Importantly, the country chapters also discuss the involvement of trade unions in the development of the recent measures, and in the country’s response to the 2019 EU Council Recommendation on access to social protection.

During the first phase of the pandemic (March – April 2020) a lockdown was declared with stringent health‑related measures, including closing down of shops, schools, public places, workplaces and non-essential activities.
From May onwards, and especially during the summer, the health measures were gradually relaxed, but from September 2020 until May 2021, due to a new flare-up of the virus, new restrictions on professional and social life were again put in place.

The negative consequences of the pandemic have been countered through policy measures to cushion people’s income loss or increased expenses.
The measures considered in this chapter are those applicable between 1 March 2020 and 1 June 2021.
Wage loss was partially offset by the temporary unemployment scheme1 for employees,2 made more generous and applied more flexibly, and a special bridging right for self-employed people who, for reasons of force majeure, had to interrupt their activity.

Extra benefits for social assistance beneficiaries, energy and water subsidies, extra child benefits and housing support, helped people living on a low income to make ends meet.
Unemployment benefits have been extended to better cover (performing) artists and technicians; the gradual reduction of benefits and mandatory job search requirement were temporarily suspended.
Special efforts were made to house and support homeless people during the lockdown.

Workers who had to take care of their children because of sickness, quarantine or school closures, were entitled to specific parental leave schemes and afterwards to temporary unemployment.
Yet, the Covid‑19 crisis has revealed important gaps in the existing social protection system, in terms of both coverage and adequacy.

Employees in the lowest quintile in temporary unemployment, including low-skilled or part-time employees, suffered considerable income loss, especially when the temporary unemployment period was longer, whilst many of them had no savings buffer prior to the crisis (Marchal et al.
2021).
In terms of coverage, certain groups who, prior to the crisis, had no 1.
Temporary unemployment (tijdelijke werkloosheid/chômage temporaire) is the name of the short‑term work scheme in Belgium.

For the purposes of this chapter, we use the following definitions of different types of employment (ILO 2016): Standard employees i.e.
full-time open-ended contracts; non- standard workers i.e.
contractual employment outside of full‑time open‑ended contracts (e.g.
part‑time, temporary contracts, zero‑hour, seasonal workers etc.
); self‑employment, i.e.
people working for their own account.

But others, such as people in flexi-jobs, platform workers not qualifying as regular employees or self-employed, and young people in dual learning programmes, traineeships or student contracts, still fell outside the protection afforded by the emergency measures.
There is a vigorous national debate in Belgium on access to social protection for people in non-standard work.

In the National Labour Council, agreements were reached on temporary unemployment arrangements and on the organisation of telework.

Description of measures 1.1 Unemployment benefits7 To be eligible for unemployment benefits, people aged between 18 and 65 must be out of work, not from their own choice, after a period of (fulltime or part‑time or at least 1/3 of fulltime) work as an employee and no longer entitled to payment of remuneration (or with limited income from a subordinate or casual activity).
They have to be fit for work, registered as a jobseeker, available for the labour market and actively seeking work.

Applicants have to prove a certain number of working days in a reference period that differs between different age categories, for work at wage levels of at least the guaranteed minimum wage.
The amounts differ according to the duration of unemployment and the family situation.
The minimum benefits in the unemployment scheme can all be considered as inadequate, since they do not guarantee an income above the at‑risk‑of‑poverty (AROP) threshold.

Self‑employed people do not have access to the unemployment scheme; they have a separate scheme, the so-called ‘bridging rights’.
These flat-rate benefits – with different amounts for self-employed with or without dependants – can be granted for 12 months in case of insolvency, collective debt arrangement, forced termination of activities for reasons beyond the will of the self‑employed individual, and cessation of activities due to economic problems.

The Belgian Court of Cassation ruled that the limited duration of integration benefits, which replaced the so-called ‘waiting benefits’ (unlimited in duration), can be considered as a breach of the stand‑still principle contained in article 23 of the Belgian Constitution, that protects citizens against restrictions in the degree of social protection without reasons linked to public interest (Court of Cassation, ruling 5 March 2018, S.16.0033.R).

The most important extensions of social rights to unemployment benefits have been introduced through the short-term working scheme, the ‘temporary unemployment scheme in case of force majeure’ (see Van Lancker 2021).
Those who are mainly self‑employed and who have to stop their activity due to the crisis are entitled to (double) bridging benefits; those who can re-start their activities but face considerable loss of income, can also receive bridging benefits at a lower amount.

The bridging right is also available to sex workers who are registered as self‑employed.
Self‑employment as a secondary occupation provides entitlement to half the bridging right, provided the person earns more than €6,994 per year.
The emergency bridging right is an extension of the existing bridging right, introduced in 1997, which grants a modest replacement income to the self‑ employed, mentioned above.
The amounts have been considerably increased.
The bridging right at re‑start is new.
