Project bio

The project responds to the new phenomenon of platform work, the benefits and risks of which need to be mapped. By collecting data, we aim to answer these questions: who are platform workers, in which sectors do they work, why did they choose platform work, and under what working conditions. We will then situate platform work within a sociological and economic analysis of the labour market, using the concepts of labor precarity and intersectionality. We also aim at mapping the risks posed by algorithmic management perceived by platform workers. Given the ongoing implementation of the Directive 2021/762/EC, we also aim to propose concrete recommendations leading to the improvement of working conditions for platform workers, and to create room for discussion with the relevant social partners
