1. Focus and Scope The Journal of Legal Studies in Labor and Social Security (REJLSS) is a scientific publication published by the Publications and Scientific Dissemination Service of the University of Malaga (UMA Editorial). Since its founding in 2020, it has established itself as a leading platform for the dissemination of original and unpublished works focused on the field of Labor and Social Security Law. The journal is characterized by its free, open, and open access, its international focus—especially in Europe and Latin America—and its commitment to rigor, quality, and critical reflection on the current challenges of this legal discipline. Its objective is to contribute to doctrinal debate and the search for legal solutions to the complex transformation processes in the socio-labor world. This is a biannual interuniversity journal published electronically. It publishes two regular issues per year (covering the periods May-October and November-April), as well as special issues. It is aimed at university professors, researchers, students, labor law professionals (lawyers, social science graduates, and advisors), and, in general, anyone interested in labor law studies. Its purpose is to promote research, knowledge transfer, and academic and professional development in the field of labor law and social security. 2. History The REJLSS was founded in 2020 at the initiative of University of Malaga professor Miguel Ángel Gómez Salado, who has served as the publication's director since its inception. Its creation is part of the development of various research initiatives linked to competitive projects at the state and regional levels, including: The State R&D&I Project "Challenges, reforms, and financing of the pension system: sustainability versus sufficiency?" (RTI2018-094696-B-I00). The Regional R&D&I Project "The elderly in the context of employment and social protection: a challenge for economic growth and development" (P18-RT-2585). Since its inception, the journal has enjoyed the support and involvement of Francisco Vila Tierno, the director's academic mentor and a leading figure in the field of labor and social security law. He has since assumed the presidency of the publication, decisively contributing to its consolidation as a rigorous, committed, and internationally renowned scientific forum. 3. Section Policies As a general rule, the REJLSS is structured around four main sections, which group together the following content: a. Presentation of the
