Abstract

Digital transformations are reshaping the world of work and employment relationships. Lockdowns implemented as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated these transformations, further shifting patterns of work, consumption, and the provision of services. This study proposes a taxonomy of multiple channels through which emerging developments in digitalization are impacting work and redefining employment relationships globally. The patterns and shifts identified are assessed in relation to the "International Labour Organization Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work" adopted by employers, labor unions, and government representatives in 2019. The taxonomy highlights the gaps in the current governance structures as they relate to digitalization. It also can inform the development of a comprehensive framework for governing the digital economy in a manner that is consistent with International Labour Standards, minimizes social risks, and harnesses the long-term benefits of digital tools.
