Fairness in the Latin American platform economy
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…
Pressure and praise as an action research methodology
In platform-mediated sectors such as ride-hailing, delivery, care work and cloudwork, gig workers often lack essential employment protections such as minimum wage and social security. Misclassification of workers, opaque algorithms, exploitation of legal loopholes and lobbying by platforms against protective legislation further exacerbates inequalities and discrimination. The Fairwork project at the University of Oxford and WZB Berlin, in collabo…
Underpaid or Uberpaid? The Platformisation of the Domestic and Care Work
In recent years, many countries have witnessed a progressive commodification of domestic and care services. Service provision has become increasingly diversified, and the domestic and care sector has also been part of a general trend of progressive 'platformisation', as both local and multinational digital labour platforms (DLPs) have entered the market. Despite its growing prominence, the platformisation of domestic and care work has remained re…
The German platform economy
In the German public debate, platform work and crowdwork have become the epitome of the dark side of the digital transformation of the working world. Although Germany is marked by a high density of labour regulations, those do not necessarily translate into/create fair conditions for platform workers in the country. At first glance, the historical legacy of strong social partnership between employers' and workers' organisations and the restrictiv…
Derrière le masque
Les plateformes de travail numériques ont souvent été présentées comme une solution au chômage engendré par la pandémie. Cependant, la crise a mis en lumière la vulnérabilité des collaborateurs des plateformes, notamment des travailleurs essentiels parmi eux. Les auteurs examinent le comportement de 191 plate‐formes de 43 pays pendant la pandémie pour savoir si celle‐ci a fait évoluer la branche. Sur la base de critères relatifs à l'équité au tra…
Inclusion for All or Exclusion for Everyone? UK Unemployment Policies in the Age of Austerity
Whilst the comparative political economy literature has regarded the UK as among the least dualised countries when it comes to non-standard employment, thanks to its flexible labour market and predominantly means-tested system of social pro-tection, scholars in the precariousness literature have highlighted the increased pre-carity and insecurity of many non-standard workers, highlighting the extreme con-ditionality and punitive policies typical …
Taming Platform Capitalism
This panel brings together scholars whose work seeks to tame platform capitalism understanding how the lives of platform workers are affected by digital platforms. Research on platform labor has been mostly done in the global north, as well as in relation to global platforms like Uber or Amazon (Rosenblat 2019; Scholz 2016). Thus, the panelists, moreover, explore how the lives of platform workers can be improved within the global platform economy…
Dis)embeddedness and (de)commodification
The ride-hailing giant Uber has long circumvented labour regulations and commodified its drivers’ labour by existing at the conjuncture of multiple geographies – being simultaneously embedded and disembedded from the places where it operates. In this commentary, we argue that the COVID-19 pandemic has destabilised Uber’s ‘conjunctural’ existence and forced the company to become more embedded in the locations where it operates, bringing about a – …
