Abstract
Due to technical innovations online platforms are capable of reducing transaction costs between market participants demanding a certain product or service and others supplying it. The extent to which the online platforms intervenes in the interaction between the market participants determines their impacts on the labor market. While online marketplaces essentially update classic marketplaces by means of technology, dealers with platform-character intervene that much into the interaction that the platform operator itself seems to be rendering the service. However, the dealer organizes the supply of his service by means of self-employed freelancers instead of employees. As a variety of employee rights are based on dependent employment, the shift towards more self-employment could warrant a need for action in regards to social safeguards and interest groups for self-employed freelancers. MyHammer (marketplace), Helpling and Clickworker (dealer with platform character), the online platforms discussed in the paper at hand, illustrate this assessment.
