DESCRIPTION:Technological innovation is transforming every part of our li
 ves. The ability to quickly and cheaply exchange large amounts of data a
 nd information has laid the foundations for the rise of the digital econ
 omy and digital labour platforms. Businesses and consumers have embraced
  this transformation in both developed and developing countries\, as ser
 vices and goods are delivered in ways that are cheaper and more convenie
 nt. Digital labour platforms are now part of our everyday lives.\n\nThis
  transformation extends to the world of work. Digital labour platforms o
 ffer new markets for businesses and more income-generating opportunities
  for workers\, including those who were previously outside the labour ma
 rket. Such platforms are leading to changes not just to the organization
  of enterprises and work processes but also the relationship between wor
 kers and businesses.\n\nIn this talk\, Dr Uma Rani will discuss some of 
 the challenges raised\, including the impact of digital platforms on tra
 ditional businesses and the working conditions of platform workers.\n
