The regulation of platform work in the European Union: Mapping the challenges

Sacha Garben

Chapter 9 in A Modern Guide To Labour and the Platform Economy, 2021, pp 145-161 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: One of the key legal questions that has risen in the online platform economy, is the application of labour law and occupational health and safety standards to the people working via/for these platforms. This chapter analyzes in more detail to what extent the various labour and employment regulations that have usually been designed with a traditional bilateral, standard, open-ended employment relationship in mind, can and should be applied to the often a-typical working arrangements used in the platform economy, and how policy-makers and judiciaries across Europe have grappled with that problématique."
