The emergence of online digital labour platforms has been one of the major transformations in the world of work over the past decade. This report provides one of the first comparative studies of working conditions on five major micro-task platforms that operate globally. It is based on an ILO survey covering 3,500 workers in 75 countries around the world and other qualitative surveys. The report analyses the working conditions on these micro-task platforms, including pay rates, work availability and intensity, social protection coverage and work-life balance. The report recommends 18 principles for ensuring decent work on digital labour platforms.

„Wenn Du Frieden willst, sorge für Gerechtigkeit“ steht in lateinischen Worten auf dem Grundstein des ersten Gebäudes der Internationalen Arbeitsorganisation (bekannt als ILO, deutsch: IAO), die vor 100 Jahren als Teil des Friedensvertrags von Versailles gegründet wurde. Ihre Geschichte und besondere Struktur sind in der Familie der Vereinten Nationen einzigartig, ihre gesellschaftlich-dialogische Ausrichtung ist heute relevanter denn je. Das Buch beschreibt Zielsetzungen, politische Lernprozesse und Herausforderungen der IAO und stellt diese in den Kontext der aktuellen Diskussionen um eine friedensförderliche, global nachhaltige Arbeits- und Wirtschaftspolitik.
This book is the first comprehensive account of the International Labour Organization’s 100-year history. At its heart is the concept of global social policy, which encompasses not only social policy in its national and international dimensions, but also development policy, world trade, international migration and human rights. The book focuses on the ILO’s roles as a key player in debates on poverty, social justice, wealth distribution and social mobility subjects and as a global forum for addressing these issues. The study puts in perspective the manifold ways in which the ILO has helped structure these debates and has made – through its standard-setting, technical cooperation and myriad other activities – practical contributions to the world of work and to global social policy.
