Platform Work in the Context of Big Data: Legal Issues and Countermeasures
Abstract
Based on the sharing economy and big data operation, platform work has the characteristics of platform dependence and digitalisation. However, traditional labour relations based on subordination theory and related standard systems are no longer applicable under the new employment model, which has led to difficulties in the identification of labour relations and judicial practice and has triggered several derivative contradictions. These contradictions will be aggravated by improvements in the sharing economy and the internal digitalisation of platform employment. Accordingly, the operating logic of platform-based employment and the essence of digitalisation should be emphasised to enhance the judgment standards of labour relations and strengthen the legal regulation of data platforms so as to provide legal and social responses for effective negotiation between labour and management in the context of big data.References
