Study launched by Cedefop to examine how EU workers develop their skills in the online platform economy, and how these platforms match skill supply with demand, with a view to drawing lessons for European skills and education policy.

Comment

The CrowdLearn survey addresses the following research questions:

  • What skills do crowdworkers develop through their work and with what learning processes – individual and social?
  • Are there differences in learning and skill development practices between crowdworkers and workers in traditional labour markets?
  • Do platform markets promote effective skill development and utilisation of crowdworkers’ skills?
  • What about recognition/validation and portability of crowdworkers’ skills and credentials?
  • What policies can improve skill development and matching of crowdworkers?
