- What does decent work mean?
- Did the ILO centenary fundamentally change anything?
- What is the link between private employment services and platform work?
- How do crowdworkers relate to homeworkers and teleworkers?
- Are platform workers engaged in domestic work?
- What form could a future ILO standard on platform work take?
Given that the ILO plans to start discussions on a potential future standard for platform work in 2022, this book will prove very useful in highlighting the issues and standards that such discussions should consider. Research has shown that the techniques and tools of the platform economy have spread far beyond gig work, resulting in widespread “gigification” and restructuring of workplace behaviours and relationships, jobs, and communities across the world. For this and other reasons, including the book’s detailed analysis of issues not addressed elsewhere, labour lawyers, in-house counsel, researchers, and policymakers will gain valuable insight into what decent work in the platform economy would require, thus greatly broadening the discussion on this difficult-to-regulate phenomenon.
