Annarosa Pesole – författare

This book examines different key aspects around new forms of work and gender and intersectional inequalities in platforms, how the platform economy intervenes, changes and reconfigures the organization of work, and the challenges faced by policymakers and workers’ organizations regarding formalization, professionalization, remuneration, quality of work or social protection of platform work.Including case studies from different countries from the Global North and the Global South, it contributes to a better understanding of how digital platforms are inserting themselves into neoliberal transformations in labour markets, taking advantage of digitization, the commodification of reproductive labour and migrant labour regimes to quickly access a precaritized female migrant workforce with low bargaining power.It will be of interest to all scholars and students of gender studies, health and social care and sociology more broadly.
