The OUs analyzed until now are situated in labour sectors caracterized by different levels of difficulty of access, of individual investment and social recognition.

These OUs are: i) a group of physicians of CNR (National Research Council, Italy) and ii) a group of workers associated within a social cooperative that supplies public services under contract of public authorites.

Although these activities have a public vocation, the pressure for the reduction of public spending determines a deep transformation that favors the fragmentation of contracts, work conditions and work organization.

A situation not so far from French one, above all for the rôle of non-profit organizations in public services.

Also for this I see in the French associations movement the possibility to enlarge my analysis field.
