"How many platform workers are there?" -- I get asked this question a lot. For the longest time, I referred to the @WorldBank back-of-the-envelope estimate of 100 mn. Me, @FabianStephany and @ViliLe got a slightly bigger envelope to do our own calculation. A thread [1/n]

Here's the final version of the global population density graphic I made, because another one that is circulating was less well defined, and someone cropped NZ off it

Insightful point by @pearsonisms highly relevant to my own work: Success in online freelancing at least partially depends on one‘s ability to shape the boundaries of clients‘ project demands.

[Rich Pearson @pearsonisms]

@oiioxford @ViliLe @j_a1bert As I'm now in year 2 of freelancing, a more nuanced freelancer skill has become apparent - the ability to shape the client's job post to fit your skills and improve the perceived match. It's one part persuasiveness and two parts entrepreneurial.

First tweet (a little late to the party): @ViliLe and I wrote about how online freelancers develop their skills in the platform economy and how policymakers can support

[Oxford Internet Institute @oiioxford]

New blog from @ViliLe @j_a1bert @oiioxford on digital skills gap and online platform economy, with lessons for policymakers, based on findings from @Cedefop CrowdLearn report. https://t.co/RgUrgsbUm9
