Summary/Abstract: This paper studies and analyses the expected impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on the future development of the labour market and, particularly, on employment relationships. The employment reality, labour markets and the occupation and absorption of jobs at a global, European and national scale have been subject to dynamic change and challenges faced by the legal systems. The policy of introduction of information and communication technologies and digitisation of the economy, as a sectoral policy, has resulted in modernisation of the forms of employment in line with the dominating trends of digitisation of manufacturing and smart automation of the industry. Thus, based on the study of the new situation, the paper conducts analyses, deducts general conclusions and provides recommendations with respect to the new challenges, suggests some necessary and adequate actions that should be undertaken by the institutions and discusses the most recent legal provisions.
