Course Description

Lalamove is an on-demand delivery platform. It matches users who have delivery needs to the delivery partners who utilize its platform. It was engaged by the Advisory Committee on Platform Workers in formulating their recommendations. In view of the impending legislation of platform work, Lalamove is keen to continue its contribution to the policy making process by providing a comprehensive picture of the platform work environment in Singapore. The objective of the course is to provide policy recommendations backed by research on both the benefits and drawbacks of platform work.

Learning Objectives

Students will develop policy recommendations in one of two areas that Lalamove can reference in its future discussion/interaction with regulators. One area consists of three thematic pillars that characterize platform work: inclusion, accessibility, and economy. The second area concerns input for government policies on insurance, CPF, and representation.
