Research On The Identification Of Labor Relations Of Practitioners On Internet Platform

Boosted by both economic and social development and epidemic unemployment,the ranks of Internet platform workers are growing.Compared with traditional types of workers,they have higher work autonomy and can choose their own working hours and workplaces,and this flexibility makes platform workers unable to fully comply with China’s current subordination-oriented labor relations recognition standards,and thus the labor rights and interests of such groups are difficult to Therefore,the labor rights and interests of these groups are difficult to be well protected.However,the flexibility and autonomy embodied in the platform employment are not enough to completely strip the subordination of platform employees to the platform enterprise,and the two parties are still in an unequal position,and the platform employees lack sufficient voice to protect their rights and interests.This contradiction between the need for separate social protection and the lack of legal protection reveals that it is difficult to cope with the diversified employment model in China.Considering that the advantage of platform economy lies in the flexible employment mode which can reduce the operation cost,it is not appropriate to protect the platform workers as full laborers,otherwise,it will harm the development vitality of Internet economy.In this regard,we consider the possibility of establishing an intermediate type of labor law protection subject and then providing limited protection for them,drawing on overseas experience.In constructing the criteria for determining the intermediate type of workers,we should carefully analyze the labor characteristics of the platform workers and summarize and distill the factors that should be included in the criteria.
