Abstract

The use of digital tools at work is pervasive in the EU. It enables data-driven management practices such as digital monitoring and algorithmic management, complex and emerging phenomena in the EU. Their prevalence and impacts differ significantly across Member States, making it urgent and essential to clearly map their geography in the EU. Based on data from the recent AIM-WORK survey, this report presents a set of 27 country fiches representing the country specificities of these relevant phenomena. To operationalise measurement of the extent and use of both digital monitoring and algorithmic management, the paper uses the concept of platformisation of work, which conveys the combination of digital tool usage, digital monitoring and algorithmic management in European workplaces.
