A Research Agenda for the Gig Economy and Society

Edited by Valerio De Stefano, Ilda Durri, Charalampos Stylogiannis and Mathias Wouters

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Providing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary overview of the gig economy from both a labour and employment perspective, this Research Agenda goes beyond the question of the employment status of platform workers. It investigates how the gig economy is changing the way people work, how the platforms’ business models are spreading in our economies, and what labour and social institutions are needed to respond to the challenges that platform work raises.
