IAATW Publications
The evidence the platform economy doesn't want compiled. Research, reports, and field documentation from 20 worker organisations across six continents — building the evidentiary record for decent work in the platform economy ahead of the 114th International Labour Conference.
IAATW Global Report on App-Mediated Industrial Relations
The ILO is building global standards for platform work — but the 15 countries hosting 80% of that work were barely consulted. This report fills the gap. Drawing on firsthand testimony from app-based transport workers across three continents, it documents the convention gaps, corporate evasion strategies, and definitional loopholes that leave 154 million workers locked out of fundamental rights. It names the enterprises, maps the money, and delivers recommendations the ILO process has so far failed to produce.
Prepared for the 113th ILC. Authored by Blake Harwell, Voyageur Strategies. Supported by the Ford Foundation.
IAATW Regional Shadow Reports
IAATW member organizations document what platforms deny and governments ignore. These regional reports track conditions across South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia — from wage theft and algorithmic control to the violence that follows when workers are left without protection. Together, they form the evidentiary foundation of the IAATW global report.
