本文考察了英国平台送餐工作的信息化进程。利用定性数据,本文提供了新的分析视角,以了解是什么驱使个人正式快递员向无证移民供需信息化分包零工工作,以及平台公司如何通过允许的人力资源做法和技术实现非正式工作实践。在这样做的过程中,本文展示了平台公司如何成为非正式劳动力市场的推动者,并有助于扩大超不稳定的工作条件。
This article examines the process of informalization of work in platform food delivery work in the UK. Drawing on qualitative data, this article provides new analytical insight into what drives individual formal couriers to both supply and demand informalized sub‐contracted gig work to undocumented migrants, and how a platform company enables informal work practices through permissive HR practices and technology. In doing so, this article shows how platform companies are enablers of informal labor markets and contribute to the expansion of hyper‐precarious working conditions.
