The Online Labour Index (OLI) is the first economic indicator that provides an online gig economy equivalent of conventional labour market statistics. It measures the utilization of online labour across countries and occupations by tracking the number of projects and tasks in real time.

The employer dashboard was initially designed developed as a case study for the Live Data project, which spawned the Interactive Data Network.
There are four views of the data:
- The Online Labour Index
- Posted jobs split by occupation type
- Posted jobs split by country
- Intra-country/job breakdowns
The worker dashboard was developed by the IDN on behalf of Prof. Vili Lehdonvirta and Dr. Otto Kässi.
