digital labour platforms

• Definition

  • Digital labour platforms facilitate work using “digital technologies to ‘intermediate’ between individual suppliers” (platform workers and other businesses) and clients (EU 2020), or directly engage workers to provide labour services. The work undertaken on these platforms is also commonly referred to as “platform work” or “gig work”. (ILO. WESO, 2021, p.33). Digital labour platforms can be classified into two broad categories: online and location-based platforms. (ILO, 2021).
