Platform Work

Platform work refers to jobs where individuals provide services or perform tasks through digital platforms or apps, such as ride-sharing, delivery, freelance tasks, or online tutoring. These jobs are often flexible, allowing workers to choose when and where to work. The platform acts as an intermediary, connecting workers with customers and facilitating payments. While offering flexibility and new earning opportunities, platform work can lack traditional employment protections like benefits, job security, and consistent income. It’s an increasingly common form of gig or freelance work in the modern economy.
