Approximately 24 million people in the European Union are estimated to have provided platform services (as of 2018; the market has high growth prospects). Most of them provide low-skilled, on-location services. They tend to be young and many have an immigrant background.

Yet, platform workers lack the social protection and safety nets that are basic rights for employed workers.
