□ 디지털 플랫폼 노동의 확산은 고용 기회를 늘리는 동시에 고용 안정성과 사회보장 제도의 사각지대를 확대함. 특히 플랫폼 노동자 보호 정책이 미비한 국가들은 불평등 심화와 노동권 침해 위험에 직면할 수 있음
□ 국가별로 기술 수용력과 제도적 대응 격차가 커지며, 싱가포르·한국 등은 적극적인 정책 대응을 보이는 반면, 일부 개발도상국은 디지털 전환에 필요한 인프라와 제도 정비가 미흡하다고 지적됨
□ 보고서는 기술-인간 협업 기반의 직무 재설계, 역량 기반 교육 및 평생학습 체계 확충, 플랫폼 노동 보호법 제정, 실시간 노동시장 데이터 구축 등을 정책 권고안으로 제시함
□ 미래 일자리 전략은 기술 변화에 따른 노동 수요 변화에 유연하게 대응해야 하며, 전통적 고용 정책에서 벗어나 새로운 고용 형태와 디지털 경제에 맞는 법·제도 개편이 시급하다고 강조함
