Extending Social Protection to Platform Worker: Applications on Egypt

The rise of the platform economy has offered new opportunities for job creation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). However, this new form of work does not come without its challenges, particularly in regards to social protection. In Egypt, platform workers - such as ride-hailing rivers, delivery workers, and freelance cloud-based workers - operate outside traditional labor structures, often without essential social protections, including health insurance, social insurance, fair pay or recourse to representative bodies. Join us for a thought-provoking webinar, where we will delve into the latest research findings based on the work of Dr. Ghada Barsoum, Professor of Public Policy and Administration Department (PPAD)at the School of Global Affairs and Public Policy in the American University in Cairo. Her work examines the critical barriers to integrating platform workers and charts a path forward for ensuring access to formal social protection schemes.
