Abstract
The paper presents a review of the sociological literature on platform work. In
the first paragraph we introduce the concept of platform, the various types of
platform and the specificities of the labour-based platforms. The second paragraph
analyzes the main international and national statistical surveys aimed at
mapping the platform work and the characteristics of workers, paying attention
to both the methodological issues and the main research results. The last paragraph
examines the contribution of sociology to the debate, identifying five
streams of research – definition of the concept of labour, division of labour,
social inclusion, social protection, collective organizing – that contribute to the
definition of a research agenda.
