ASEAN Employment Outlook – The Quest for Decent Work in Platform Economy: Issues, Opportunities and Ways Forward
Author:ASEAN Secretariat

Abstract
This publication is an essential contribution to ASEAN region. It is the first comprehensive analysis of digital labour platforms and platform workers in ASEAN Member States. Assessing legal frameworks and regulations, social protection, collective voice and representation, skills development and inclusivity and diversity for on-demand and crowd-work, ASEAN Employment Outlook provides reviews, recent trends, policy developments and prospects of the changing world of work in the region.
It is a relevant source of information to promote and protect platform workers and improve decent work, which helps understand the impact of online digital labour platforms on labour markets in ASEAN and its Member States. It identifies online labour platforms as a potential alternative to informal employment considering countries’ ongoing digital transformation, and it recognises that significant steps under these structures need to be taken to improve worker welfare.
Analysing good practices from the EU and identifying emerging business models that have the potential to foster decent work in ASEAN, it is also a tool for sharing best practices at the regional and international level, enhancing collaboration in information management, strengthening existing connections, and forging new pathways to ensure the promotion and protection of platform workers.
