DOMESTIC LABOR PERFORMED THROUGH DIGITAL PLATFORMS:

GIG ECONOMY OF SERVITUDE?

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the relationship between the exploitation of domestic work and the platform economy or gig economy, from the perspective that the historical-economic transformations of Brazilian society result in social scenarios that are already complex themselves, but that converge and causes cruel realities in different levels, depending on the person who faces them. It is intended to examine separately aspects involving labor rights, the perspectives of gender and sexual division of labor, as well as racial discrimination and the particularities bequeathed by the slavery system, with the aim of then carrying out a study triangulating these three objects. The dialectical method will be used, seeking to deepen the research, taking into account the evolution of society, accompanied by a methodology of a bibliographic nature, having theoretical support mainly from books, scientific articles and legal precepts. It is concluded that the conjuncture, as a whole, aggravates the precariousness of an already precarious category, even when intersectional complications are absent, as platformization exposes the vulnerabilities of domestic reproductive work.
