The project consists of four thematic work packages:
All four work packages critically overview and analyse German and international literature dealing with the effects of automation and the platform economy on the reorganisation and re-regulation of employment.
The findings of the project will focus on:
- labour market trends driven by technology in the areas of employment, remuneration and qualifications;
- the challenges of e-commerce;
- the role of the platform economy for the re-regulation of employment relations and business models;
- recent approaches to labour regulation.
