I'm curious about how platform-based care will evolve in the future, in different national contexts...

3- Also, it was very interesting to observe that care platforms not only mediate traditional services, such as childcare and domestic work, but also increasingly commodify new types of care, including pet-sitting and tutoring.

2- In the EU, platform governance structures, the scope of commodification and the distribution of market risks vary across business models. Marketplace care platforms, relying on self-employment and non-interference, dominate the European landscape with significant national variations.

Some crucial findings: 1- Care platforms share features with other digital labour platforms, but the intimate, relational and non-standardised nature of care work limits algorithmic control and commodification.
