"The situation of solo self-employed workers is often precarious. Politicians and trade unions have therefore put forward different proposals to enable minimum fees, collective agreements for solo self-employed workers and their better access to social security. This article outlines the current state of the debate, presents a proposal for regulating minimum fees for solo self-employed workers and evaluates the legal framework. It gives an insight into the empirical situation of the self-employed, the reform proposals currently under discussion and the constitutional and European legal framework in which they are embedded."
