There is no legal definition of the terms “employee” and “employment relationship” in the existing labor laws. The main purpose of labor laws and regulations in China is to ensure economic development and social stability. In reference to worker protection under the sharing economy in China, as a starting point of discussions, heated debates about whether the existence of an employment relationship should be recognized or not have been constantly repeated. Once the existence of an employment relationship is recognized, generous protection of labor laws and regulations would be provided, to reduce the burden on companies, the hurdle for employment relationship certification is high. Discussions about the subdivision of the concept of employee, or to introduce “employee-like persons” as a third category of workers between employees and independent contractors have been held to bring more workers under the protection of labor laws. Policy Implications We need to always bear in mind that the starting point and purpose of labor laws and regulations in China are different from those in Japan. If the level of worker protection were set too high, it spontaneously leads to a tendency to narrow down the scope of application. The concept of the sharing economy has brought about various new forms of employment, and there exists a discussion about excluding persons, who originally own underused resources and are willing to “share” them, from the scope of protection by the labor laws. Policy Contribution This study examines characteristics of legal responses to new forms of employment in China, and analyzes the distinct nature and the legislative background of China’s labor regulations. This will serve as a reference for policy making in response to new forms of employment.
