How can we build a more inclusive platform economy with greater opportunities for participation, representation, and voice? Read and contribute to the dedicated commentary series.
Digital labour platforms have created unprecedented opportunities for workers, businesses and society by triggering innovation on a global scale. However, companies at its heart face severe criticism over inadequate employment protections (unfair work), free-riding on conventional businesses (unfair competition) and inadequate consumer protection. The Centre’s commentary series explores the following practice and policy-oriented questions:
How can governments and international agencies put in place effective frameworks that can lead to rebalancing power asymmetries in platforms’ cross-border operations?
How to design and support more inclusive participatory models?
How to a recognise a formal role for labour and civil society in these frameworks?
