Goal of the project
This project will achieve two main objectives:
- To provide gig workers (location-based & micro-taskers) a simple tool for calculating
their actual wages and be able to compare this to the living wage/tariff. - To offer key regulatory stakeholders a framework to propose a living tariff for the
selected sectors of the gig economy.
This tool will be developed and tested first on pilot-basis. The scope of this pilot is:
- Gig workers employed by digital labour platforms in the transport and logistic sector
(riders, couriers, drivers, delivery etc) and micro-taskers (data-labellers etc) - Women gig workers hired by platforms in traditional and non-traditional sectors
- Needs and challenges of other vulnerable groups including refugees, unemployed
youth etc
