- Abstract
- During the past two years, plenty of articles have been published in newspapers and magazines about the so-called “uberisation” of work, new forms of work in a sharing or collaborative economy, the flood of flexible mini-jobs in the “gig economy”, the uncertain future of wage employment, etc. Throughout both printed and digital media, the feeling has become increasingly widespread that the forthcoming tsunami of digital technologies – whether this is named the second machine age, or the third or fourth industrial revolution – will deeply question the employment relationship. The aim of this paper is to analyse how some recent innovations in the digitalisation of the economy are intertwined with emerging forms of work and employment; and to what extent the accelerated development of digitalisation contributes to the political process which is deconstructing the concept of employment and reformulating the category of “worker”.
