Defining growth dependence
Many socio-economic systems require positive economic growth rates to function properly. These growth dependencies pose serious challenges given uncertainty about future growth rates and the role of economic growth as a driver of environmental crises.

Amid the crisis of social reproduction, outsourcing domestic work has become increasingly appealing, with labour platforms offering new avenues to do so.

Drawing on the burgeoning literature of postwork or critiques of work, we argue that work may rather be understood as a biophysically in…
