The Online Labour Index (OLI) is an economic indicator measuring the activity of the global online gig-economy.[1] It was created and is administered by the researchers Otto Kässi, Vili Lehdonvirta, and Fabian Stephany, at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford.[2]

The OLI monitors the demand and supply of work from the world's leading online gig-work internet platforms. The index has become an international reference for the measurement of the online freelance economy.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Online Labour Observatory

Since 2021, the OLI is hosted on the Online Labour Observatory,[10] a joint project of the International Labour Organisation and the Oxford Internet Institute.[11]
