Platform markets \u2013 also called two-sided markets \u2013 deliver value to customers and provide economic opportunities for suppliers, but these digital markets also generate substantial economic benefits for the platforms themselves and they introduce novel and often precarious forms of work and economic interaction. At the same time, platforms can also be a means for economic empowerment and growth. In this event, we will present the results of a research sprint with international participants that looked into the opportunities and challenges of one particular type of platform: so-called online labour markets. The event will discuss two questions: First, how can marketable and sustainable skills be identified and tracked that allow online platform workers in local environments to participate in the global online labour market? Second, how can online labour platforms be regulated and managed to improve worker protection &amp; platform infrastructure to enable sustainable and decent work opportunities?<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;More info and register here: https:\/\/www.hiig.de\/en\/events\/titel-the-future-of-online-labour-markets-and-the-regulation-of-the-platform-economy\/&#8221; use_icon=&#8221;on&#8221; font_icon=&#8221;&#xe01d;||divi||400&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#a26737&#8243; icon_placement=&#8221;left&#8221; image_icon_width=&#8221;16px&#8221; content_max_width=&#8221;1100px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Karla||||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; icon_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;2560px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;euc-bold|700|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#2a2a2a&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;48px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;30px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>20 July &#8217;22<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Open Sans||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;20px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;euc-bold|700|||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||10px||false|false&#8221; header_3_font_size_tablet=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_3_font_size_phone=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_3_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Online Event (Kenya-focused): <span>2nd Policy Roundtable &#8220;Skilling, reskilling and deskilling of gig workers in Kenya&#8221; on 20 July<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Karla||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Labour standards and fairness in the gig economy \u2013 policy roundtable series<\/p>\n<p>Webinar II: Policy responses to \u2018skilling, reskilling and deskilling of gig workers in Kenya\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Under the umbrella of the Digital Transformation Centre Kenya, GIZ\u2019s Gig Economy project cordially invites you to the second event of its webinar series on the gig economy in Kenya.
