International Labour Standards and Platform Work: An Analysis of Digital Labour Platforms Based on the Instruments on Private Employment Agencies, Home Work and Domestic Work Ebook (monbook.shop)

Platform work – the matching of the supply of and demand for paid labour through an online platform – often depends on workers who operate in a ?grey area? between the archetype of an employee and a self-employed worker. This important book explores the utility of the International Labour Organization’s existing standards in governing this phenomenon. It indicates that despite their relevance, many standards have little or no impact. The standards apply to the issue but they fail to connect with it. .eText ISBN: 9789403540412
