Abstract: Information technologies have introduced essential changes in individuals' daily lives. Due to digitization, new forms of employment are emerging, and work on digital platforms stands out. There has been a vigorous discussion surrounding digital platforms in recent years, primarily because of their growing importance within the digital ecosystem. However, despite numerous researchers' shared interests in the work of digital platforms, existing sources and metrics to measure digital platform employment are still limited. Hence, this research aims to contribute to this gap and address the state-of-the-art research on reviewing what measurement initiatives on digital platform employment have been undertaken. Additionally, this research sheds light on digital platform workers according to age, gender, level of education, and type of service category offered in the new digital economy, indicating existing differences. Valuable insights from this research will contribute to policymakers, businesses, and researchers to create a sustainable future for workers in the digital platform economy.
