Motivation: The online gig economy, where labour is provided via specialized digital platforms, is an important element of the platform economy. This market is developing on a global scale. The structure of supply in the online gig economy and the reasons for the domination of gig workers from specific countries are still the areas remaining relatively under-researched. Aim: The article aims to examine the supply side of the online gig economy based on the country of origin of gig workers, as well as to explain the reasons why gig workers from specific countries have dominated the sector. Results: The analysis of the data from the Oxford Internet Institute proved that the supply of online labour services in the global market is dominated by three Asian countries — India, Pakistan, Bangladesh — as well as the USA and the United Kingdom. The preliminary investigation into the determinants of the supply of labour services indicates that the countries under research have developed favorable institutional conditions, such as the universal knowledge of the English language, the right proportion of Internet users to the population size, the large informal sector, and considerable labour freedom.

Este artigo trata do trabalho de plataforma a partir da definição de uberização. Esta é compreendida como uma nova forma de organização, gerenciamento e controle do trabalho, que se firma como uma tendência global. A novidade catalisada pelas plataformas digitais se refere à um gerenciamento algorítmico que precisa ser mais bem compreendido e analisado É possível perscrutar uma nova forma de controle, que opera na extração e processamento de dados da multidão de trabalhadores, que são então utilizados como meios novos e pouco conhecidos para o gerenciamento do trabalho, informados pela possibilidade de um pleno mapeamento do processo de trabalho (Zuboff, 2018). São analisados: o trabalho de revendedoras de cosméticos para pensar em nas características tipicamente femininas do trabalho que se generalizam; o trabalho de motoboys e sua uberização na cidade de São Paulo.

El estudio "Plataformas digitales: condiciones de trabajo y representación colectiva. Retos de futuro" se ha desarrollado en el marco de un convenio de colaboración con CCOO de Catalunya y con el apoyo económico del Ajuntament de Barcelona ResumenEl artículo tiene tres objetivos: Primero, el estudio del perfil de los trabajadores de plataformas digitales, que se caracterizan por ser relativamente jóvenes y cualificados. Segundo, el estudio de las nuevas formas de organización empresarial y la deconstrucción de la relación de empleo. Tercero, la emergencia de nuevas formas de representación y organización de los trabajadores. Las nuevas formas de organización son diversas, tales como asociaciones profesionales, cooperativas, mutuas y sindicatos. Las estrategias de organización nacen desde "abajo", desde los propios trabajadores. Pero también hay iniciativas "desde arriba", impulsada por los sindicatos. Hemos distinguido tres formas de organización: proto-sindicalismo, cuasiunionismo y sindicalismo. La digitalización amenaza a los sindicatos, pero también ofrece una oportunidad para la revitalización en sus formas de comunicación.
