Methodology & data notes
Source
EU-LFS pilot data collection on Digital Platform Employment (DPE), 2022. 16 EU Member States + 1 EFTA country. Published as experimental statistics by Eurostat. Data fetched live via the Eurostat JSON API.
Definition
Platform work = work conducted for pay or profit where tasks were organised through an internet platform or phone app, for at least 1 hour in at least one week during the reference period (12 months or 1 month depending on variable).
Limitations
Partial EU coverage (not all 27 MS). Experimental statistics — not final official data. No country-level breakdown published. 2026 mandatory module (Reg 2024/2887) will provide full EU coverage and standardised variables.
