Digital Social Security: Outline of a concept for the 21st century

In this publication, the Hans-Böckler-Stiftung and its "Work of the Future" Research Unit present a revised outline of the DSS model by Enzo Weber. DSS (Digital Social Security) solves the problem of severe gaps in the social security of platform workers. The model proposes that platforms all over the world implement a digital mechanism to transfer a certain share of each agreed upon remuneration to the global DSS account of the platform worker. The DSS account collects the globally generated contributions and transfers them on a regular basis to the social security system of the platform worker's home country.
