A Study on the Formation Mechanism of the Employment Vulnerability of the Gig Workers in the Context of Platform Economy
In recent years,with the rapid development of the platform economy,the number of gig workers has been increasing,which has become an important form of employment in China's labor market.However,the employment vulnerability of gig workers is gradually becoming prominent.The gradual weakening of labor relations in the platform economy leads to the lack of social security for workers;the paradox of the average wages in salary mechanisms leads to the decrease of workers'income and the increase of risks;the algorithm management mechanism leads to the high workload of gig workers and the lack of main status in the labor process;The unilateral monopoly of platform enterprises weakens the status of casual workers.Therefore,various forms of labor relations should be established and a system for safeguarding the rights and interests of gig workers should be established;constructing an algorithm evaluation mechanism and improving the system of collective bargaining are also needed.
