The International Labour Organization (ILO) is developing a new convention to address the rights and responsibilities of stakeholders in the growing platform economy. Concerns surrounding working conditions, labour rights, and social protections for workers in the gig economy are driving this initiative. A key focus will be the impact of automated decision-making systems on platform workers. The ILO aims to have the convention finalized by 2026, establishing a framework for fair treatment and improved standards. This move responds to the increasing prevalence of platform work and the need to adapt labour laws to this evolving landscape. The convention seeks to balance the interests of workers, platform companies, and governments. Vanguard News first reported on the development.
