520			_aThe COVID-19 crisis has stimulated an unprecedented surge in digitalisation, which has in turn massively accelerated the growth of the digital platform economy. The increasing significance of digital platforms is apparent as millions of people turn towards them for work, livelihood, trade, information and entertainment. This paper is an attempt to situate the growth and diversification of digital platforms in the post-pandemic economic scenario. The paper delineates the theoretical underpinnings of digital platforms with a focus on definition, characteristics and typology. It highlights the emerging trends in the overall digital economy and traces the potential future contours of digital platforms. The paper also discusses key labour market issues with respect to the digital platform economy as well as some major policy imperatives to situate platform work within the frame of a brighter future of work. – Reproduced
