Abstract

The present study analyses work through digital platforms in Portugal, focusing on immigrant workers, and assesses the existence of initiatives guaranteeing decent work for this category of workers, given their social vulnerability. Consideration was given to Law n. 45/2018, of August 10, the law TVDE (Individual and Paid Transport of Passengers in Disabled Vehicles from an Electronic Platform); the Green Book of the Future of Work (2021), which analyses digital work in Portugal for the creation of efficient public policies capable of providing decent work, even in the face of the challenges created by work in the digital age; subsequent actions of the Portuguese government regarding work on digital platforms and, particularly, those directed at immigrants, constituents of the majority of the workforce in this economic activity.
