Platform work at a crossroads: The EU Directive shaping the future of digital labour
The platform economy has evolved from a niche market into one of the EU's fastest-growing sectors, spanning food delivery, ride-hailing and digital microtasks. But rapid growth has created legal grey areas – especially around whether platform workers are truly self-employed or, in practice, employees under tight digital control. The EU's new Platform Work Directive aims to address these gaps by introducing a rebuttable presumption of employment, stronger transparency and data protection rules, limits on automated decision-making and requirements for human oversight. Member States must implement the directive by 2 December 2026.
