RESEARCH GROUP TRANSFORMATION OF WORK: CHALLENGES TO LABOUR LAW

Abstract

The text corresponds to an official report submitted and approved at the XXIII World Congress of the International Society for Labor Law and Social Security, held in Lima, Peru, in September 2021. The work addresses the main challenges of Labor Law in the face of changes caused by technological innovations in the form of development of labor relations, including and especially through the performance of digital platforms. The text examines the consequences of two decisions that will necessarily have to be defined: a) the inclusion or exclusion of new forms of work within the scope of labor law; and b) the extent of protection that must be assured to these new workers. The concern to follow the guidelines of the UN Agenda 2030 and its promise to ensure decent work for all will be a decisive factor in the options to be made, imposing on everyone to take responsibility for the impacts that will be generated in the current and future generations of workers humans.
