In a constantly changing world of work, rights at work are confronted with many challenges. Digital labour platforms are a distinctive part of the digital economy. By connecting businesses and clients to workers, they are transforming labour processes, with major implications for the future of work.

The main challenge is not to make all work standard but rather to make all work decent.

It is important to reflect and respond to the significant transformations in the world of work. Case law referring to International Labour Standards (ILS) and the work of the ILO supervisory bodies in digital labour platforms can provide valuable inputs for a comparative analysis of the implications of these changes in different areas of the world.

The exchange of experiences and the mutual learning between judges, lawyers and academics from different countries on ILS contribution in guiding the future decisions represent a source of inspiration at national level for strengthening the crucial judicial role in a changing world of work.
