Addressing the social protection of platform workers, the French legislator in 2016 and then in 2019 made moves to incorporate these workers into the general social security regime with regard to certain covered risks (work injury and occupational diseases), and to improve adequacy (enabling possible access to complementary coverage). However, these moves rest on radically opposed perspectives. Rather than reasserting the legal responsibility of the employer vis-à-vis workers’ health and safety, we see responsibility placed with the platform, but only on a voluntary basis under the aegis of corporate social responsibility. This risks fragmenting social benefits, to be determined by each platform, thus weakening the practices of mutual protection and risk pooling among enterprises and workers that lie at the heart of social security. In doing so, the legislator has broken the link that had as its historic objective the goal of social inclusion and has encouraged in different ways the privatization, or a re-commodification, of social security in the commercial interest of private insurance companies. Moreover, this has been done using the Trojan Horse of the French labour code. This approach is in contrast to the converging position of international organizations, such as the European Union, International Labour Organization or the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, recommending that States establish a right to social protection for all atypical workers and non-salaried workers. Instead of identifying the common challenges that face workers who work for platforms, and offering responses specific to their situation, rather, it considers platform work as one of the new forms of atypical work undertaken by those who may have the status of employee or self-employed.

社会保护与平台经济：法国立法者的反常做法

为解决平台工人的社会保护问题，法国立法者在 2016 年和 2019 年采取措施，将这些工人纳入关于某些承保风险（工伤和职业病）的一般社会保障制度，并提高充分性（使可能获得补充保险）。然而，这些举措建立在完全相反的观点之上。我们没有重申雇主对工人健康和安全的法律责任，而是看到了平台的责任，但只能在企业社会责任的支持下自愿进行。这有可能使社会福利碎片化，由每个平台决定，从而削弱作为社会保障核心的企业和工人之间相互保护和风险共担的做法。在这样做，立法者打破了以社会包容为历史目标的联系，并以不同方式鼓励社会保障私有化或重新商品化，以符合私营保险公司的商业利益。此外，这是使用法国劳工法典的特洛伊木马完成的。这种做法与欧盟、国际劳工组织或经济合作与发展组织等国际组织的一致立场形成鲜明对比，它们建议各国为所有非典型工人和无薪工人确立社会保护的权利工人。与其确定为平台工作的工人面临的共同挑战，并针对他们的情况提供具体的回应，不如说，
