Technology is a powerful driver for change in the world of labour. The objective of the InGRID winter school is to aggregate scholars and policymakers interested in two recent but rapidly growing phenomena: the sharing econ%C2%ADomy and crowdsourcing. More specifically, we are interested in the labour aspects of these innovation: Do they lead to a growth in the share of freelance workers? What are the working conditions of crowdsourced workers? Do we need to adapt our definitions of labour to fit these new challenges? Do we observe a blurring of the borders between work and leisure in the sharing economy?
