✔️ the social protection exclusions workers face across different welfare models.

Finally, we discuss how this new focus could be used to improve how the EU Platform Work Directive responds to gig workers’ social protection needs!

[Lorenza Antonucci @SocialLore]

EU policy debates have centred on employment status and algorithmic control.

We shift the focus on:

✔️ the relationship of platform work to wider labour market insecurity

✔️ the financial burden placed on gig workers operating as self-employed contractors
