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
