Shared economy and precarious work

Where we are in the discussion of changes in the world of Labour

Abstract

This essay seeks to analyze, through different bibliographic references, the relation between the operating model of tech-companies, such as Airbnb, Ifood, Getninja and Uber, with a new category of economic sciences, the shared economy. Comparing central authors in the formulation of this category with other key authors dedicated to understand the new morphologies of work, we will try to debate whether, in fact, the shared economy is an alternative to modern hyper consumption and what are the impacts of the functioning model of these companies on the lives of their worker-consumers.
