Panel 3: Workers in New Employment Forms
The rise of the platform economy has prompted unique challenges in terms of labor protections, especially for workers engaged in the sharing economy. To address these, China’s labor regulator has introduced new guidance aimed at safeguarding workers in unconventional employment forms. Concurrently, the Supreme People’s Court has considered implementing guidelines to reinforce protection for these workers in judicial practices. What are the major obstacles to implementing recent reforms intended to bolster protection for platform workers? How can these challenges be effectively addressed? What should be the criteria used to identify labor relations in the rapidly evolving platform economy? How can regulators balance the need for robust labor protection with the economic imperative of fostering the platform economy’s growth and stabilizing employment?

單元三：平台經濟新就業形態用工
在平台經濟蓬勃發展之際，勞動保護正面臨諸多獨特挑戰，尤其是對於投身共享經濟的工作者而言。 為應對此問題，中國勞動監管部門出台了新的指導意見，旨在維護從事非傳統就業形態的勞動者權益。 同時，最高人民法院也考慮在司法實踐中貫徹強化平台用工保護的指導建議。 這些近期改革的推進可能遇到哪些障礙？ 如何有效化解這些挑戰？ 在迅速演變的平台經濟中，勞動關係的認定標準應該是什麼？ 監管機構又如何在保護勞動者權益與促進平台經濟增長及穩定就業之間實現平衡？
