However, it can be both dangerous and harmful. In this paper, we present the light work topic, with an emphasis on the existing regulations in the world and the possibilities for a best solutions for regulation of this form of work.

New circumstances in the world have led to an increase in social violence and violence at work. Combating against various forms of workplace violence in recent years has been the focus of many countries. This year the International Labor Organization (ILO) has issued special documents on this (Convention 190 and Reccomendation 206).

In addition to presenting international regulations on violence and harassment at work, the paper deals with the forms, characteristics and specificities of violence at work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Modern information technology has brought a real revolution in all areas of life and work. The degree of “digitization” is so great that some authors call this process “digital revolution”, and modern economy - “digitized economy.” Although it is not so obvious, gradualy is forming a new society - “digital capitalism”. For “virtual employers”, in the new - “virtual economy”, work “digital workers” who are mainly invisible and deprived of their labour rights. That's why some call them - “digital proletariat”. Labour law is slowly adapting to the new circumstances. An increasing number of people remain unprotected or poorly protected. It is necessary to completely re-examine and update the traditional concept of labor law, by expanding access of the labour law to the „digital workers“, modernizing the concept of employment, of an employee, worker, self-employeeand employer. Digital technology should be converted into a “ fellow worker” (worker friendly) and not a tool of a new form of exploitation. Otherwise, modern “digitalized society” will turn into a “community of rightless,” without social and economic perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the past hundred years work has been carried out mainly in the form of permanent employment. At the end of a century significant social and economic changes led to destabilization of the current concept of bipolar stable employment. Among other things, there is a large number of atypical forms of work engagement, which require a different approach to the organization of work and more flexible labour regulations. This paper presents changes in the world in the labor relations environment and new approach to labour relation legislation. It also analyzes the suitability of Serbian legislation on labor relations to contemporary working environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
