| contents | Working conditions on digital labour platforms: Opportunities, challenges, and the quest for decent work Michael "Six" Silberman Uma Rani Marianne Furrer Ellie Harmon Janine Berg Cross-border, digital labour platforms permit real-time hiring for a range of jobs, from IT programming to graphic design, copywriting and routine clerical tasks. But little is known about working conditions on these platforms or about their employees. This column begins to fill that gap in the scholarship using an ILO survey of 3,500 workers from 75 countries and five major microtask platforms. It finds that even workers who perform valuable labour for successful companies often do so for low wages and without the protections of a regulated employment relationship. interactiveResource.blog |
