ILO's first Convention on Decent Work in the Platform Economy
C-193 is the first convention by the ILO concerning rights and working conditions of workers in the platform economy.
In June 2025 and June 2026, the International Labour Conference convened discussions on decent work in the platform economy, bringing together representatives of governments, employers and workers from ILO member states. Through a two-year standard-setting process, delegates deliberated on the need for international labour standards addressing the evolving nature of platform work.
On 12 June 2026, the Conference adopted ILO Convention No. 193 (C193), the Decent Work in the Platform Economy Convention, 2026. The Convention establishes an international framework addressing working conditions and labour rights in the platform economy.
