Funda Ustek-Spilda on fair work in the gig economy after
COVID-19<https://www.wider.unu.edu/event/funda-ustek-spilda-fair-work-gi…
In this seminar, Funda Ustek-Spilda will introduce the Fairwork Foundation, an
action-research project at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford. Fairwork
conducts action research into the working conditions in the platform economy, in order to
develop ‘fairness ratings’ for digital labour platforms like Uber and Deliveroo. These
ratings are then used as a lever to improve pay and conditions for platform workers across
the world.
Ustek-Spilda will also the discuss the findings of Foundation’s Covid-19 research, for
which they have reviewed nearly 200 platforms in 40+ countries, majority of which are
located in the Global South.
This will be followed by Arturo Arriagada’s talk on the platform economy in Chile, and the
impact of Covid-19 on the workers in Latin America.
Join the webinar to find out more about the research results and strategies for improving
platform work: Register
