Mapping Continuities and Discontinuities in Belgium’s Platform Economy: Fairwork Belgium Ratings 2024/2025
The latest Fairwork Belgium report presents an in-depth evaluation of the working conditions in Belgium’s growing platform economy, with a special focus on domestic and care services. Building on our 2022 baseline, the 2024/2025 ratings assess six digital platforms—including food delivery, ride-hailing, and care work—against Fairwork’s five principles of decent work.
While platforms like Takeaway.com showed encouraging progress—earning top marks for fair pay and worker representation—others fell short, with several unable to demonstrate even basic protections. The report also unpacks the Belgian regulatory landscape, recent court rulings, and the country’s evolving labour deal, offering a nuanced view of both policy gaps and opportunities for reform.
Explore the full report below to see which platforms are leading the way—and where action is still needed.
