Fairwork exists to highlight the best and worst examples of how new technologies are being used in the workplace. Through research on digital labour platforms and artificial intelligence, our goal is that the future of work can be made up of better and fairer jobs.
By evaluating platforms and employers against measures of fairness, we hope to not shape a fairer future of work for all.
The Fairwork project is based at the Oxford Internet Institute and the WZB Berlin Social Science Center.
Across all of our projects, we work closely with workers, platforms, advocates and policymakers to envision and build a fairer future of work.
The three sets of Fairwork Principles were developed through a collaborative process that reflects the insights of our international network and the voices of workers around the world. They provide a benchmark of fair work, for companies, workers, customers and policymakers.
Follow the project on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, or get in touch if you’d like to learn more.
We are seeking to engage with organisations, whether current or potential users of platform labour, that would like to demonstrate their public commitment to fairer platform work.
