Abstract

The rise of the gig economy is disrupting business models across the globe. Platforms’ digital work intermediation has had a profound impact on traditional conceptions of the employment relationship. The completion of ‘tasks’, ‘gigs’, or ‘rides’ in the (digital) crowd fundamentally challenges our understanding of work in modern labour markets: gone are the stable employment relationships between firms and workers, replaced by a world in which everybody can be ‘their own boss’ and enjoy the rewards—and face the risks—of independent businesses. Is this the future of work? What are the benefits and challenges of crowdsourced work? How can we protect consumers and workers without stifling innovation? Humans as a Service provides a detailed account of the growth and operation of gig-economy platforms, and develops a blueprint for solutions to the problems facing on-demand workers, platforms, and their customers. Following a brief introduction to the growth and operation of on-demand platforms across the world, the book scrutinizes competing narratives about ‘gig’ work. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, it explores how claims of ‘disruptive innovation’ and ‘micro-entrepreneurship’ often obscure the realities of precarious work under strict algorithmic surveillance, and the return to a business model that has existed for centuries. Humans as a Service shows how employment law can address many of these problems: gigs, tasks, and rides are work—and should be regulated as such. A concluding chapter demonstrates the broader benefits of a level playing field for consumers, taxpayers, and innovative entrepreneurs.

Abstract

De invoering van de Wet Patiëntenrechten, de Euthanasiewet en de Wet Palliatieve Zorg (2002) heeft geleid tot een explosie van richtlijnen, procedures en protocollen in Belgische zorginstellingen. Een dergelijk beleid vormt vaak ook een weerspiegeling van de ethische instellingsvisie rond levenseindezorg. In dit boek wordt de rechtspositie van de beheerder, het artsenkorps, de patiënten en de overheid hierbij onderzocht. Heel wat gevoelige themas komen aan bod, zoals kan een instelling euthanasie verbieden?, zijn patiënten verplicht om niet wettelijk voorziene procedures te ondergaan? en kan de overheid instellingen die de wet niet toepassen, sanctioneren?. Daarnaast wordt een reeks voorstellen geformuleerd om de toegang van patiënten tot euthanasie beter te beschermen.In dit boek wordt het ethische instellingsbeleid voor het eerst op uitgebreide wijze juridisch geanalyseerd. Het is bedoeld voor iedereen die actief is in het gezondheidsrecht (zoals ziekenhuisjuristen, advocaten, magistraten, academici en beleidsmakers) of vanuit de praktijk hiermee in aanraking komt (zoals beheerders van zorginstellingen, zorgverleners, patiëntenverenigingen, medische beroepsorganisaties, netwerken palliatieve zorg, ideologische verenigingen en ethici).
