Abstract: Abstract One of the important innovations in the labor market in the last decade is the emergence and development of digital work platforms. Based on a review of scientific literature and materials, this paper presents the essence and definition of digital work platforms, types, and classification of services, business models of the platform and the scale of dissemination. The benefits and challenges of digital work platforms are also discussed in this manuscript. In the overview of the Georgian labor market, I have briefly outlined the available data on digital work platforms in Georgia. Digital work platforms in Georgia are at the initial stage of development. We believe that digital work platforms will play an important role in the labor market of Georgia in the future. However, according to our conclusion, the development of digital work platforms requires training of the necessary personnel, changes in the education system, employment status-related changes in the legislation, promotion of the development of relevant skills, e.g., foreign languages and IT, in society, and many more related adjustments.
