Platforms - Work - Regulation

New forms of work in the platform economy go along with increased labour-related risks for many workers. Traditional institutions and modes of labour regulation hardly apply to these new forms of work, although first regulatory approaches by legislators and social partners have been developed in some segments of the platform economy. The issue network aims at bringing together international research on labour and social policy regulation of the platform economy and promoting interdisciplinary dialogue.
