The growth of digital work platforms has been highly favoured by structuralconditions in Chile: a liberal economic history, high internet penetration, and a significant flow of migrant labour. Since the turn of the century, Chile has enjoyed one of the highest levels of internet penetration in Latin America. This has favoured the rise of the gig economy, with more jobs, flexibility and independence. Notwithstanding, the promise of managing your own time, at your own pace, and being your own boss — presented as an advantage to workers — gig work also brings with it various forms of precariousness, exhausting shifts, exposure to risks, and few labour protections. Users, for their part, may not see or understand these risks clearly, since they value the convenience, speed, and low prices of these platforms.
The Fairwork Chile team is composed of Arturo Arriagada(PI), Jorge Leyton, Francisco Ibáñez and Tatiana López.
Chile’s Labour Ministry has invited Arturo Arriagada, Principal Investigator for Fairwork Chile, to be part of a working group with other scholars to analyse the implementation of the new platform labour law.
