The rapid development of the sharing economy not only attracts large-scale employees, but also demonstrates characteristics of employment forms completely different from the traditional employment. Based on the analysis and summary of 30 legal papers on the subject of sharing economy employment in CNKI, this review shows that the current research focus of sharing economy employment falls into the identification and regulation of labor relations of the network contract workers. Regarding the existence of labor relations between crowd-sourced net contract workers and shared enterprises, there are currently three kinds of views: the negative, the affirmative, and the one that is difficult to characterize. The corresponding regulatory paths, thus, are respectively the adjustment of using multiple institutional tools outside the labor law, the adjustment of involving workers in the labor law, and special adjustments of intermediate types between workers and the self-employed. Several preliminary consensuses have already been reached in relevant academic discussions, but fierce on-going debates focus on further issues.
