This Policy Brief provides proposals as to how different jurisdictions may im-plement the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the ILO Report on Decent Work in the context of platform work, within the con-straints of their respective constitutional and legislative orders. The purpose is to provide guidance as to how states can use – or modify – their existing legal frameworks to ensure that the platform economy complies with the norms and standards set out in the relevant ILO documents.

 

This policy brief was published by the Think20 (T20) and counted with the collaboration of Gautam Bhatia (University of Oxford), Darcy du Toit (University of the Western Cape), Sandra Fredman (University of Oxford), Mark Graham (University of Oxford), Jean-Paul Van Belle (University of Cape Town).
