This book examines and evaluates the legal protections available to platform workers in China, with a particular focus on labor law. It analyzes administrative legislation, judicial processes, and practices in China.

By reviewing the labor classification rule in China, the book builds its discussion on the traditional "employee versus self-employed" dichotomy and subordination. It presents how governments established the "non-employee-but-under-management" category of platform workers, conceptualized as an intermediate status between employees and self-employed individuals. The author delves into the rights to which platform workers are entitled, such as algorithmic management and occupational injury insurance. This lends implications to the implementation of labor law and the impact of this new third-category worker classification on subsequent administrative legislation and judicial practice.

This book will be a valuable resource for scholars and policymakers in the fields of labor and employment law.
