Inhaltsangabe

Multidisciplinary in scope, The Elgar Companion to Regulating Platform Work comprehensively analyses the dynamics and trends of the app-based food delivery sector in the platform economy. Adopting a comparative approach, it examines the regulatory developments in the field at EU level and beyond.

Bringing together a diverse array of leading experts, this Companion goes beyond exploring pure labour issues, delving into the societal dynamics at play in the sector. The various actors in app-based food delivery are identified and key themes such as the mobilisation of food delivery couriers, their issues and grievances, and their working conditions are discussed. Regulatory reforms including the Platform Work Directive 2024 and the outcomes of courier mobilisation are explored in addition to alternatives to corporate platforms.

The Elgar Companion to Regulating Platform Work is a fundamental resource for academics and students of sociology and social policy, labour policy and economics and employment relations law. Practitioners, policymakers, trade unionists and labour advocates will also find the book’s practical implications to be of great benefit.
