Legal Regulation of Online Platform Employment of Workers in BRICS Countries

Technology development is one of the signs of today. More and more workers are involved in «nontraditional» forms of employment on Internet platforms, and both the work itself and the search for work are carried out using platforms and artificial intelligence. Today, online platforms form ecosystems that allow you to take into account the interests of both the employee, for example, the selection of work, and the employer, for example, to choose a high-quality employee and develop your own business, organize retraining of employees, etc . Experts from the International Labor Organization rightly note that the platform economy is one of the most significant changes caused by the digitalization of the labor sector. The authors note that platform employment, on the one hand, provides more employment opportunities, therefore, there is an opportunity for additional earnings. On the other hand, workers are not provided with labor, pension rights and guarantees, they are not protected. Employees of online platforms are often deprived of the right to collective bargaining, making collective agreements and contracts, the right to unite in a trade union.
