Platform workers in Italy: an empirical exploration on worker-level data

Abstract

This presentation aims at providing empirical evidences over a range of issues related to the labour markets generated by the digital platforms and to people working in there. Particularly worthy of interest, the following issues: the share of those working for a digital platform; the distribution of platform work in terms of gender, age and educational status; the evantual “pension gap” between platform workers and non-platform workers in terms of years of contributions.
