Abstract

This study report presents a categorisation of food platform delivery workers, a mapping of the French ecosystem in which they operate, an analysis of the economic and health risks they face, and the nature for their social protection. It concludes with recommendations for strategies and public policies to take better care of these vulnerable workers. The results are based on 236 responses to an online questionnaire, supplemented by 18 semi-structured interviews, two non-structured interviews, and several participant and non-participant observations at delivery workers' meetings and public demonstrations in Paris and Lyon. Three complementary publications are available in open access: ‘Young, poor and vulnerable: delivery riders in France are demanding better wages and social protection' (The Conversation), ‘La tyrannie d'algorithmes ayant pignon sur rue' (Revue Terminal), ‘Responsible Innovation and Digital Platforms: The Case of Online Food Delivery' (Journal of Innovation Economics & Management).
