In recent years, the continuous development of Internet technology has provided good conditions for the birth and vigorous development of the sharing economy. A number of innovative platform enterprises operating under the mode of sharing economy have emerged in China, which provide convenience for people’s food, clothing, housing and transportation consumption. However, the emergence of sharing economy may change the ways of employing of enterprises to a certain extent and may cause a certain degree of impact on the identification of labor relations. Based on the current developmental situation of Chinese sharing economy, this paper classifies the sharing economy into three categories, describes how the three categories of sharing economy affects labor relations, and puts forward the prospect of the development of labor relations under the sharing economy model in China.
