Urban Company is the best app-based platform to work with in India: report
Live MintHome services platform Urban Company is the best app-based platform to work with in India, according to a report published on Tuesday. In its second edition in India, the Fairwork India Rating 2020: Labour Standards in the Platform Economy report looked at 11 app-based platforms and ranked them based on the five parameters—pay, working condition, contracts, management and representation—to ascertain fair labour practices. But workers in many of the app-based platforms didn’t earn much above the local minimum wages when costs incurred by them were factored in, the report states. So, to make the same amount of money, the person now has to put in much more time.” Janaki Srinivasan, assistant professor at IITB, and research assistants Mounika Neerukonda and Pradyumna Taduri were other members of the Fairwork India team who gathered the findings based on their research, interviewing workers and the stakeholders at the app-based platforms.
