“…Since many of these online employees do not have definite employers, the payment of social insurance premiums can only be undertaken by employees themselves, undermining the Bismarck model of social insurance that assumes equal payment of contributions by both sides. The transformation of social policy in the digital age requires a new type of digital governance at the national and local levels to cope with increasing social and public risks [37,38].…”

This research is based on empirical surveys conducted in two Chinese cities, Beijing and Chengdu, which examine employment relationships, labor protection and social protection in the new digital economy. Through these theoretically informed surveys on various forms of employment via online platforms, we have found that the organizational principles and functional patterns of employment have profoundly transformed in the epoch of digitalization. The traditional employment relationship characterized by written contracts with clearly defined entitlements and obligations for employers and employees have been increasingly substituted by new volatile, fluid and fragile employment forms, softening the labor rights and social rights of “digital employees” and strengthening social control over them through online evaluation systems supported by smart phones and apps. The employees engaged in the online sharing economy have become more individualized and atomized than ever before, resulting in the emergence of an unorganized and disenfranchised “digital working class”.

“…Transparency policies in Administrations and Governments are closely linked to attempts to fight corruption (Bertot et al, 2010;Schlaeger & Wang, 2017;Nam, 2018). This has led to many studies and methods being used to measure Transparency in Administrations, by using ICTs and even exclusively social networks (Bosón, et al 2012;DePaula et al 2018), or in the case of Twitter to reach more citizens and interact with them (Faber et al, 2020).…”

During the last few decades, there has been a very important change within Public Administrations, fundamentally in countries with a liberal economy. Since the end of the 20th century, the need to reduce costs while improving services has led to a new concept of a more open and transparent Administration, which has undoubtedly been helped with the arrival of information and communications technologies. Administrations are made up of two spheres that work inseparablythe political and the administrativeboth of which have been affected by this new culture of transparency and accountability. Thus, it is the World Wide Web together with legislation that has appeared over the last two decades which have lain the foundations of the new relationship that citizens and firms have with the Administrations, creating a new paradigm in Public Administration. This work presents the results of a study carried out on a sample of the town councils of Spanish municipalities with populations ranging from 5001 to 10,000in total 82 town councils. The study used questionnaires from two of the six areas already applied by Transparency International Spain to large Spanish municipalities. The results show a disparity between municipalities, since, while some meet all or almost all the indicators, others barely meet any. The implication is that political willingness or its absence is the main cause for the differences between otherwise similar municipalities. However, some indicators are met by the majority as they are those of obligatory fulfilment, being required by law.
