This study attempts to examine the challenges generated by the so-called platform work, which has gained significant traction in the labour markets of Hungary and the European Union in recent years, primarily from a labour law perspective and, to a lesser extent, from a social law viewpoint.

The first part of the analysis explores the background of the platform economy's expansion, followed by a discussion of the conceptual aspects and key factors of the platform economy.

In the second part, the study addresses the labour law issues arising from this phenomenon from both national and EU perspectives. Finally, in light of the analysis of domestic and European Union case law, it offers de lege ferenda proposals to help resolve the emerging dissonances.
