Lebanon's App Workers’ Rights Progress
Lebanon's accession to the International Labour Organization's Convention on Decent Work in the Digital Platform Economy is an important step toward safeguarding the rights of workers across digital applications and platforms, numbering over 50,000 people in Lebanon. The agreement establishes rules to ensure fair working conditions and rights, including the right to organize, protection against forced labor, occupational safety and health, social protection, and fair wages. This initiative comes amid a significant expansion of the platform economy in Lebanon due to the economic crisis and declining wages, with many Lebanese relying on platform work as a primary or supplementary source of income, despite companies classifying them as independent partners rather than employees—leaving them vulnerable to a lack of legal and social protections. Lebanon's membership in the convention will help adapt its laws to provide comprehensive protection for workers in this rapidly evolving sector.
