Submitted by rruggia on Fri, 08/03/2018 - 12:30

Cada vez más profesionales de América Latina trabajan ‘online’ para compañías globalizadas, cobran muy bien en moneda dura aunque a costa de resignar condiciones laborales. Los argentinos son los mejor pagados, por encima de los mexicanos y brasileños, aunque éstos representan el 50% de la oferta regional al mayor mercado global de trabajo independiente del mundo: la tercerización en ‘freelancers’.

[Report] Labour issues in the digital economy

Submitted by -brener on Fri, 04/20/2018 - 14:10

ECLAC (August 2017) Digital work platforms are transforming labor markets around the world. Firms that own, manage and deploy these work platforms have reframed employer–worker relations by defining their core business as the provision of the technology that enables certain services to be provided rather than the provision of those services, and offering their workers independent contractor arrangements rather than employee contracts. This has significant consequences in terms of wages, jobs security and other working conditions.
