The IRSDACE (Industrial Relations and Social Dialogue in the Age of Collaborative Economy) project, funded by DG EMPL of the European Commission, aims to identify how traditional players in the labour market, e.g. trade unions, employers' associations, member states and the EU, experience and respond to the platform economy. The project has five main tasks: i) conceptualisation of collaborative work, its place in the labour market, employment policy and industrial relations; ii) analysis of discourse on collaborative economy among established industrial relations actors; iii) assessment of the implications of workers’ experience with the collaborative economy for industrial relations and social dialogue; iv) comparative analysis of national experiences; and v) analysis of how EU-level employment policy and the industrial relations agenda should respond to the emergence of work in the collaborative economy.

Financing: The project is financed by the European Commission

Application reference: VP/2016/004/0041
