International Labour Standards and Platform Work is a pioneering book that aims to answer the question of whether the International Labour Organization (ILO) should undertake standard-setting action on platform work. Platform work matching the supply of and demand for paid labour through an online platform is at the forefront of policymakers minds. It often depends on workers who operate in a grey area between the archetype of an employee and a self-employed worker. This important book explores the utility of existing standards of the ILO in governing this phenomenon. The book engages with ILO principles and guidelines that are relevant to the issue of platform work.
