Rise of the gig platform: meet your new employer

PwC Legal 2022 Gig Economy Report

Thursday 30 June 2022 - PwC Legal’s new Gig Economy report finds that in order to integrate digital platforms into their labour frameworks, countries across Europe are quite often changing the status of digital platforms to that of employers. In their attempt to reduce legal ambiguity related to gig workers’ social status and conditions, they are time and again reclassifying these same workers as employees, with far-reaching consequences for the sector, whose entire business model is built on flexibility.

Brussels, 3 June 2020 - While many people have the ability to work from home, gig workers have kept the economy running during the Covid-19 lockdown. Today, these workers are more vulnerable than ever due to a lack of social protection and a cohesive legislative framework across different countries. One year after PwC Legal’s first in-depth study, it appears almost no legislative progress has been made. Of the countries that did act, almost all invested in upgrading the social rights of gig workers in order to provide them a similar social status to employees.

Number of cars will continue to increase until 2025

PwC Digital Auto Report

Wednesday 8 January 2020 - Although everyone seems to be looking for a sustainable solution to the current mobility problem, it seems that the peak in the number of cars is still to come. Between 2020 and 2025, the number of cars in the EU will increase from 269 million to 273 million. Only by 2030 will there be ‘only’ 258 million more cars in use. With the launch of the 2020 Autosalon, PwC's strategic consulting division, Strategy&, is looking ahead to the future of the automotive industry in its Digital Auto Report.

The legal firm PwC Legal does not believe that the Belgian social legislation is suited for the gig economy, the popular fast-growing labour market, characterized by short-term contracts or freelance work. The multiple protests against the gig economy’s poster children such as Uber and Takeaway.com are clear indications of this problem. PwC Legal argues that Belgium must adapt quickly to this new reality, just like most other European countries. It must find a better balance between providing social protection for its employees and responding to the needs of the current economy such as flexibility and autonomy. PwC Legal examined the social legislation concerning the gig economy in 10 western European countries. “Our country can take a leading role in this area,” states PwC Legal.
