Fairness in the Latin American platform economy: Assessing labor conditions on digital labor platforms
The platform economy, particularly digital labor platforms, has experienced significant growth in Latin American countries. These platforms, which facilitate specific labor relations known as platform work (Aloisi and De Stefano, 2022), have seen a substantial increase in user registrations. A survey (Alvarez et al, 2020) estimated that 16% of the population is registered on these platforms, with 9.4% reporting the provision of services through t…
Dignity as a commodity? Labour dynamics and partial inclusion among data annotators in artificial intelligence in Colombia
Nosotras de robot no tenemos nada: Arreglos Intersubjetivos Tecnosociales en El Trabajo Doméstico Mediado Digitalmente
This article explores the intersubjective relationships between clients and workers on two digital domestic work platforms in Bogotá, Colombia. Drawing on feminist social studies of science and technology, it investigates the control, auditing, and subordination mechanisms affecting workers, with clients playing a key role in setting performance conditions. While much of the literature on digital labor focuses on technological intermediation and …
The Digital Boss: Algorithms, Housekeeping Apps, and the Digitalization of Domestic Work in Colombia
Domestic work in Colombia has historically been undervalued and unpaid, with informality continuing to rise despite legal efforts to dignify it, such as the ratification of ILO C189. In this context, domestic work gig platforms have emerged as a source of formal employment. Unlike most gig economy models, these platforms operate as agencies that directly hire workers, ensuring key conditions like stable income and social security. However, gaps r…
Technolegal Expulsions: Platform Food Delivery Workers and Work Regulations in Colombia
Precariousness of the Colombian urban economy provides an ecosystem for the development and expansion of digital platforms, intersecting informal working relations with digital surveillance. Reconstructing legal obstacles to gaining recognition as legal and formal workers, it is argued that platforms have assembled a techno-legal network which translates discussions about workers’ rights into the less regulated arena of information and communicat…
Connective data: Markov chain models and the datafication of cervical cancer and HPV vaccination in Colombia
This article explores the role of statistical modeling in the production of sound epidemiological objects in a context in which data are perceived as fragile and precarious. It analyzes the use of Markov chain modeling in the evaluation of cost-effectiveness of HPV vaccines in Colombia. Markov chain modeling has an important role in producing a “national” cohort of women in which it is possible to test the “virtual” effectiveness of HPV vaccines,…
(Un)contested evidence: Scientific literature, systematic reviews and the politics of evidence in the introduction of HPV vaccines in Colombia
This paper analyses the tensions between scientific literature and systematic reviews in the production of evidence in healthcare. Systematic reviews are devices developed – within evidence‐based medicine – to navigate the complexities of scientific literature promising a clear and simple account of the knowledge on a particular issue. However, in practice, systematic reviews have a more complex relation with literature. Systematic reviews are sh…
Making HPV vaccines efficient: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis and the Economic Assemblage of Healthcare in Colombia
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is a strategy of calculation whose main objective is to compare for making decisions about the best, the most efficient solution (costs vs. benefits) to a particular problem. Cost-effectiveness analysis not only provides a framework to compare healthcare interventions which in practice seem incommensurable; it also performs a set of assumptions regarding the nature of healthcare and the behaviour of individuals. …
Price-effectiveness: Pharmacoeconomics, value and the right price for HPV vaccines
Drawing on a pragmatist approach to pricing, this article discusses the impact of cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) in the pricing strategies of pharmaceutical companies. Through an analysis of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, this article illustrates the strategic appropriation of evidence-based medicine (narratives and practices) that pharmaceutical companies have undertaken to enhance the value of their products. While governments a…
