description This open access book challenges the existing focus in EU citizenship scholarship which overlooks the limitations of free movement for atypical workers. Arguing that the deliberately vague EU concept of ‘work’ allows for its restricted application in Member States, the book shows how many workers and economic contributors are left out of the free movement regime. It does this by taking a mixed methods approach: relying on both qualitative case studies and legal analysis of EU and UK legislation, case law, and decision maker guidance. All this leads to a significant and original argument that, if EU free movement rights are awarded on the basis of market credentials, more must be done to work towards a more contemporary, accurate and inclusive market citizenship. Provocative and thought-provoking, this book will appeal to all scholars of EU free movement law.
