Résumé : | The main focus of this paper is the growth of non-standard employment over the last decade. [...] The most relevant of possible future developments of non-standard work, whatever their contractual form, are related to digitalisation. The cost efficiency of work mediated by digital platforms implies that potential exchanges of low economic value relative to the transaction cost, which previously were not economically viable, are becoming so. Thus one of the more meaningful characterisations of this phenomenon is the ‘gig’ economy, that is, trade in one-off exchanges. While evidence regarding the extent of such work is very limited, this paper estimates that people engaging in this work as their main labour market status do not make up more than 0.5% of all employment in Europe. [...] Social protection is a prominent issue for digital platform work. [...] This paper concludes with some social protection issues, largely as found in Eurofound’s New forms of employment report (2015b) and subsequent, related Eurofound research.(source: report) |
