Platform work needs a live evidence layer because both the market and its definitions keep moving.

Platform work needs a live evidence layer because both the market and its definitions keep moving.

The ILO’s updated platform-and-worker estimates provide a current anchor. Keep the publication year, categories, methodology, and uncertainty attached to every number.

Use it with A4, P14, E5; preserve the source date, definitions, and limits rather than turning it into a broader claim.
