Yet, no concise and clear definition of this crucial concept exists. Many victims are still denied State protection as its interpretation mainly depends on law enforcement authorities. These challenges are becoming even more relevant given the evolving work market, especially due to its digitalisation. While labour law is meant to protect employees from exploitation, its scope struggles to extend to new, often digitalised, work situations. Thus, the project aims for an operationalised legal definition of exploitation to guide the identification of victims of exploitation as well as the sustainable protection of all workers\u2019 rights."}
