Labor And Labor Law in The Time of The On-Demand Economy

Abstract

The contribution analyses the dynamics of the on-demand economy from a labour law (in the broad meaning of regulation regarding the workers) perspective to (1) understand the working conditions in the on-demand economy, accounting for the actual legislative framework; (2) evaluate the capacity of the labour law, as it stands today, to address the challenges of this disruptive phenomenon; and (3) propose a possible policy approach in case of a need to reform labour regulation.
