플랫폼과 가사노동자 : 노동법적 보호를 중심으로

There have been a lot of discussions about the platform labor relationship as platform labor is being rapidly increased. Among them, however, there is little discussion of how to protect platform domestic workers by applying the labor laws. This paper examines the characteristics of platform domestic work with general discussion on platform labor. And through that, I try to propose some tasks to apply labor laws to platform domestic workers. The first task is to declare that the domestic workers are also employees subject to labor protection acts. This could create conditions for labor law protection for domestic workers, including platform domestic workers. The second task is to determine who the employers are in platform labor relations. The platform labor relationship is described as an ‘employer-less’ employment. This is because an employer in traditional sense does not appear to exist in platform labor relations due to the randomness and intermittency of the platform labor relations. But this is only the result of the technology made up of 0 and 1 overwritten on labor relations, and what remains when the technology is removed is not that different from what the normal working relationship looks like. There are many remaining tasks even after determining the employer. A sharp debate on the type and method of labor law protection may arise. However, we should not forget that the starting point is to recognize domestic workers as employees, and we should actively find ultimate employers of domestic workers including platform domestic workers.
