摘要

平台经济正在征服全球北方国家的家庭工作和家庭护理部门,以应对价格合理的优质护理服务的稀缺。基于对工人、公司和利益相关者的深入访谈,我们研究的目的是揭示主要由来自全球南方的移民妇女进行的这种生殖工作的剥削和隐形的新机制。本文采用女权主义的政治经济学方法来评估平台资本主义在社会再生产领域的入侵所造成的新的不平等。我们的研究表明,平台劳动力模式如何完美地适用于非正规和贬值的护理行业,该行业的劳动力供应主要由来自全球南方的移民妇女组成。数字平台利用性别、种族和移民身份的不平等来接触不稳定的劳动力。移徙妇女被剥夺了获得其他收入来源和正式就业的机会,保留工资低和缺乏代理是推动剥削和排斥机制的关键因素。虽然护理平台为移徙妇女就业提供了便利,但她们的工作条件不稳定,缺乏社会保护和失业救济。我们的研究结果证实,数字平台加剧了劳动力市场的“临时工化”、性别隔离和劳动力市场的屈从。

Platform work in the domestic and home care sector: new mechanisms of invisibility and exploitation of women migrant workers
ABSTRACT The platform economy is conquering the domestic work and home care sector in countries of the global North as a response to the scarcity of affordable quality care services. Based on in-depth interviews with workers, firms and stakeholders, the objective of our study is to unravel the new mechanisms of exploitation and invisibility of this reproductive work, carried out mainly by migrant women from the Global south. This article deploys a feminist political economy approach to assess the new inequalities created by the intrusion of platform capitalism in the social reproduction sphere. Our study shows how the platform labour model fits perfectly in an informal and devalued care sector with a large labour supply composed of migrant women from the global South. Digital platforms take advantage of inequalities of gender, race, and immigration status to access a precarious workforce. The low reservation wage and lack of agency of migrant women, who are denied access to other sources of income and formal employment, act as key elements in the advancement of the mechanisms of exploitation and exclusion. Though care platforms facilitate access to work by migrant women, their working conditions are characteried by precarity, lack of access to social protection and unemployment benefits. Our results confirm that digital platforms have reinforced the ‘casualisation’ of labour markets, gendered segregation and subjugation in labour markets.

期刊介绍: Since 1993, Gender & Development has aimed to promote, inspire, and support development policy and practice, which furthers the goal of equality between women and men. This journal has a readership in over 90 countries and uses clear accessible language. Each issue of Gender & Development focuses on a topic of key interest to all involved in promoting gender equality through development. An up-to-the minute overview of the topic is followed by a range of articles from researchers, policy makers, and practitioners. Insights from development initiatives across the world are shared and analysed, and lessons identified. Innovative theoretical concepts are explored by key academic writers, and the uses of these concepts for policy and practice are explored.
