The growth of the alternative economy, called the "GIG Economy", has increasingly caught the attention of society. This is due to digital platforms worldwide. In Brazil, this process is also known as "Uberization", which consists in the practice of self-employment, but with precarious conditions for the worker. Debates about it are growing every day.
"Technology is changing the way we deal with demand for services, and also with people's relationship to work. In the so-called "uberization" of the economy, you don't need to own a car to get around the city - and the driver doesn't have a boss. But how much does this precarize and intensify the work itself? What is the obligation of the companies, almost all of them technology-based, that exploit these services often taking advantage of loopholes in legislation? It is an important and relevant debate that the documentary 'GIG: The Uberization of Work' brings in a very didactic way."
