    The era of globalization and the rise of new technologies represent a milestone in the global economy, generating one of the most significant changes in the traditional world of work by enabling production and service provision via the internet. One clear example of this evolution is the rise of platform capitalism, also known as the platform economy. This phenomenon has become increasingly prominent around the world over the last ten years. Along with it has come one of the greatest disruptions to the world of work. Although it offers new income-generating opportunities and plays a role in social containment in the face of unemployment, it also brings precariousness and volatility. This creates regulatory challenges and calls into question the scope of labor protection regulations designed for the traditional economy. In this context, examining the legal protection of platform workers in the digital age within the Ecuadorian legal system is essential. This topic falls within the line of research known as public policy, law, and society. This study employs a descriptive methodology with a quantitative approach, incorporating bibliographic discussion, normative exegesis, jurisprudential analysis, and an empirical approach through surveys administered to geolocated platform workers. The results reveal weak legal coverage surrounding this new form of work, generating legal uncertainty and vulnerability in the exercise of fundamental rights. Thus, there is a need for regulatory reforms that recognize and regulate this emerging reality in Ecuador.
