🚴‍♂️ A rider delivers food through extreme heat.
📱 An app assigns the next task.
⚖️ But who protects the worker behind the platform?

As digital labor platforms expand across Asia, millions of workers are earning livelihoods through ride-sharing, delivery, and other app-based services. Yet many continue to work without adequate legal recognition, social protection, or safeguards against occupational and economic risks.

To bring Asian perspectives into the global conversation on decent work in the platform economy, the Centre for a Smart Future (CSF), in collaboration with iSocial, organized a webinar, “Freedom and Fairness in Platform-Mediated Gig Work: Perspectives from Asia.”

The discussion brought together leading experts and labor advocates from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, and the United Kingdom (UK), including Mr. Towfiqul Islam Khan, Additional Director of Research at the Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD), Bangladesh; Ms. Meghal Perera, Research Associate at Colombo Urban Lab, Sri Lanka; Mr. Sythieng Tuy, General Secretary of the Cambodian Food and Service Workers’ Federation (CFSWF), Cambodia; and Professor Vera Trappmann, Professor of Comparative Employment Relations at the University of Leeds, UK, and Dr. Ananya Raihan, Chairperson of iSocial (Bangladesh).

Key insights from the discussion:
🔹 Platform workers across Asia continue to face legal and social protection gaps despite their growing contribution to national economies.
🔹 Climate change is creating new workplace risks, particularly for ride-sharing and delivery workers exposed to extreme weather conditions.
🔹 Women remain underrepresented in many segments of the platform economy due to persistent safety, social, and structural barriers.
🔹 Income insecurity, algorithmic management, and unequal value distribution continue to shape workers' experiences across platforms.
🔹 Workers are increasingly organizing through formal and informal networks to strengthen collective voice and advocate for fairer working conditions.
🔹 The future of decent work in the platform economy will require stronger legal recognition, portable social protection systems, and greater accountability from digital platforms.

As global discussions on the ILO Convention on Decent Work in the Platform Economy move forward, it is essential that the experiences and realities of workers across Asia help shape the policies and standards of tomorrow.

As the ILO’s 114th International Labour Conference debates a landmark Convention on Decent Work in the Platform Economy, it is now a critical moment to ensure that global standards truly reflect the lived realities of platform workers across Asia. In this context, our upcoming webinar will explore the opportunities and challenges of platform gig work in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Cambodia, including opaque algorithms, climate impacts, social protection gaps, and the policies needed for a gig economy that delivers both freedom and fairness.

Join iSocial (Bangladesh) and Centre for a Smart Future (Sri Lanka) for this timely discussion, featuring leading researchers, practitioners, and advocates from the region.
