Digital platform work is my major source of income
Digital platform work is my additional source of income
Digital platform work helps reduce the costs of commuting, lunch at work, renting an apartment near the workplace, etc.
I do digital platform work informally to receive state benefits (e.g. unemployment benefit) at the same time
I cannot find a job in the traditional labour market
I have health problems that make it difficult to find another kind of job
Digital platform work allows me to balance work time with caring for a family member (e.g. children, elderly parents, disabled family members)
Flexibility - I can freely choose the time, duration, place, means of work
Autonomy - I can manage my own work activities, career process and progress
I like working not in the traditional office environment
Greater work efficiency - I can use working time more efficiently, have fewer ineffective breaks
Anonymity – digital platform work ensures greater security for me, as I do not disclose my full personal data when registering on the platform (clients only see my registration number, country, rating in the system)
Competence - when doing digital platform work, I feel professional, skilled, the tasks are interesting
I communicate with clients; I feel useful to society
Prevention of discrimination – digital platform work helps to prevent discrimination based on my nationality, gender, age, etc. because I can hide behind the veil of anonymity
