Uberização, trabalho digital e novas relações de trabalho

Abstract

The transformations that have taken place in the labor market since the end of the welfare state, widely developed in Europe, have created pressure from the financial side of the economy towards a more flexible labor market, so that it is freer and less bureaucratic, with the justification of being better for employers and employees. From the 1970s to the present day, flexibility has advance and new technologies have emerged, with jobs linked to information technology and highly flexible starting to coexist. These jobs are called, in Brazil, uberizados and the hypothesis of this course conclusion work is that uberization/walmartization is a form of precarious allocation of the reserve army, and the wages paid are structurally lower than the rest of the force of work. Methodologically, this work will rely on the collection of data from websites specialized in work and employment in the country, and on specialized articles/books on the subject. The results point to the confirmation of the two hypotheses listed above.
