| contents | Digital labour platforms and their contribution to development outcomes Uma Rani Rishabh Kumar Dhir Nora Gobel Digital labour platforms have gained prominence within the development agenda in recent years, as they have the potential to create income and employment opportunities. These platforms are also argued to formalize workers as they register them on platforms and facilitate the financial transactions. This chapter makes an attempt to understand what digital labour platforms mean for development and whether they contribute to development outcomes and the achievement of SDGs in developing countries. It focuses on whether the platforms help in realizing SDG 8 on decent working conditions for workers and SDG 5 achieving gender equality and empowering women using global and country level surveys of workers on platforms. It highlights some of the challenges in realizing these goals and suggests some pathways to ensure that all work on platforms is decent.
