On December 9, 2021 the European Commission proposed a set of measures to improve the working conditions of platform workers. If adopted into a directive, two scenarios are possible: platform workers will have a status of employees or platform companies will change their business models drastically to avoid this from happening.
This work stream aims to discuss these implications and come up with workable solutions for all scenarios.
In the 2022 EU Year of Youth, the European labour market needs to pay attention on how the next generation is reshaping the future of work.

AI at the Workplace
