In industrialized developed countries<br>population ageing is squeezing the labour market as well as constituting a challenge to public<br>finances and the sustainability of the pension system.<br>The digital revolution has transformed the labour market and created new forms of work, such<br>as digital platform work, which is characterized by non-standard arrangements, alternative<br>working patterns, alternative places of work, and irregular working hours. One of the main<br>concerns raised by digital platform work relates to the vulnerability of the workers caused by<br>their misclassification. This leads to situations of bogus self-employment, thereby contributing<br>to a lack of social protection and to an increase in precariousness &#8211; which is a major concern for<br>social policy and has adverse effects on family formation.<br>Due to the absence of contractual relationships in most cases of digital platform work, this type<br>of work may accentuate the social security challenge already faced by industrialized countries<br>due to population aging. At the same time that workers cannot benefit from social protection<br>schemes, they do not contribute to the financing of social security either.<br>Platform work has been attracting increasingly more interest within the academic community.<br>Mapping this research field may contribute to a better understanding of the concept, and help<br>addressing some of the academic concerns about this form of work. Taking into consideration<br>its cross-cutting nature, we will carry out a bibliometric analysis on all scientific fields that have<br>been researching this topic, focusing on publications written in English and published in journal<br>articles. This analysis will contribute to a widely and dynamic view of the field. Statistical<br>multivariate analysis will be conducted to represent the privileged associations between the<br>categories of relevant variables.<br>Keywords: Demographic shifts, technological advances, digital platform work, bibliometric<br>analysis<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apd2022.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lectures\/3842"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apd2022.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lectures"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apd2022.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lectures"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apd2022.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
