Bruegel Event Recordings

Technological development, and in particular, digitalisation has major implications for labour markets. The rise of collaborative platforms provides new employment opportunities in which individuals can benefit from information technologies for trading their assets among each other through efficient matching and reputation mechanisms. The emergence on these new internet based transactions is characterized by flexibility in supply of goods and services and in some cases by attractive prices for consumers. This event aims to discuss the various nuances and diversity that characterize crowd employment.
