Tiivistelmä
As part of Haaga-Helia’s AlgoAmmatti-project, we set out to shed light on the ‘black box’, that is, to study the kinds of design features digital labour platforms that operate in Finland have implemented. Specifically, we chose to focus on algorithmic management practices and how these are communicated to the general public.
As a basis for our study, we used a list of platforms operating in Finland compiled by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health (2023). The list currently includes 53 platforms across a wide range of multi-sided online platforms, for example from connecting parents looking for childcare with carers, to connecting brands with influencers, to connecting building operators with plumbers and locksmiths.
