Impactos da urbanização no mercado de trabalho em Palmas: transformações socioeconômicas e perspectivas futuras

Abstract

The uberization of work refers to a service provision model mediated by digital platforms, marked by informality, lack of employment ties, and flexible labor relations. This phenomenon has been growing with the expansion of the digital economy, directly impacting workers' rights and social protection. The objective of this monograph is to understand the process of uberization of work. This work is supported by the theories on work and uberization of the following authors (Antunes, 2000, 2009; Peres, 2004; Abílio, 2018). A qualitative approach was adopted and bibliographic and documentary research were used as methodological procedures. Among the conclusions, the research allowed us to understand the impacts of the uberization of work, highlighting precariousness, the lack of social protection, and the lack of specific legislation. In Palmas, this reality highlights local challenges and increases inequalities. It is concluded that it is urgent to reflect on ways to guarantee dignity, protection, and social justice to workers on digital platforms.
