Gendering Platform: Law, Regulation and Alternatives
Conférence internationale organisée le 27 septembre 2024 au Campus Condorcet (Aubervilliers).
The topic of gendering platforms, particularly in the context of platform work, is a burgeoning area of research. Platform work encompasses a variety of digital labour platforms such as Uber, Deliveroo, Amazon Mechanical Turk, care.com and Upwork. These platforms facilitate work organized through digital interfaces, often mediated by contractual relationships that can vary in structure. While the dynamics of platform work have been extensively studied, the intersection of gender and platform work has not received sufficient attention. The gendered dimensions of platform can influence access to work opportunities, the nature of the work performed, the working conditions, and the overall experience of workers. Understanding these dimensions is crucial for developing fair and equitable labour practices and regulations.
