The plan
Should legal measures be taken to prevent the 'Uberization' of industries?
Stance: For legal measures (regulation is necessary).
Definitions
- Uberization of industries: disruption by digital platforms (Uber, Deliveroo, Airbnb, etc.) that use apps/algorithms to bypass traditional regulation, creating flexible gig work but often precarious conditions.
- Legal measures: statutory or regulatory frameworks (labour law, consumer protections, taxation, competition law) designed to ensure fairness.
- Prevent: not abolish all innovation, but limit exploitative practices and mitigate harms while allowing innovation to flourish.
