Work, employment and income in the age of digital platformization

the case of care work

  • This article seeks to weave preliminary lines about care work in the era of "digital plataformization". From the review of concepts, from labor relations with gender to the digital economy (from a Marxist feminist perspective) and its imbrications with the care labor market, the objective is to analyze how digital plataformization acts in cases of care work. As an analysis methodology, after the construction of the theoretical framework, we use the observation of two digital platforms that provide, in Brazil, care services in an autonomous way, and this observation is confronted with data already produced (secondary data) about the female presence in the labor market, formal and informal. The results obtained show that the plataformization of care work increases the disparities in remuneration and gender, long existing in capitalist relations of production and consumption, considering that they accentuate gender, class and race inequalities. It is concluded, in the end, that the lack of regulation of digital markets serves as a catalyst for female labor precariousness, preventing economic and social development towards professional valorization
