Humans as a Service: The Promise and Perils of Work in the Gig Economy

Autor Jeremias Prassl
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iul 2019
WHAT IF YOUR BOSS WAS AN ALGORITHM?The gig economy promises to revolutionise work as we know it, offering flexibility and independence instead of 9-to-5 drudgery. The potential benefits are enormous: consumers enjoy the convenience and affordability of on-demand work while micro-entrepreneurs turn to online platforms in search of their next gig, task, or ride.IS THIS THE FUTURE OF WORK?The gig economy promises to revolutionise work as we know it, offering flexibility and independence instead of 9-to-5 drudgery. The potential benefits are enormous: consumers enjoy the convenience and affordability of on-demand work while micro-entrepreneurs turn to online platforms in search of their next gig, task, or ride.HOW CAN WE PROTECT CONSUMERS & WORKERS WITHOUT STIFLING INNOVATION?As courts and governments around the world begin to grapple with the gig economy, Humans as a Service explores the challenges of on-demand work, and explains how we can ensure decent working conditions, protect consumers, and foster innovation. Employment law plays a central role in levelling the playing field: gigs, tasks, and rides are work - and should be regulated as such.

Recenzii

Timely and thought-provoking, Humans as a Service is an important examination of the consequences of an important, disruptive economic development.
4*: [A] comprehensive look at the gig economy.
An engaging, illustrative, and thought-provoking book.
An engaging and readable account of the legal and policy issues that underpin the debate about the protection of those working in the gig economy... [an] elegantly written [and] concise work.... recommended for anyone who wants to understand the wider context of work in the gig economy and its engagement with employment law.
This book offers a seminal account of the main features of work in the gig economy, providing a considerable amount of information and interesting insights on a varied and rapidly varying phenomenon ... the findings of the book, which illuminates the promises and especially the perils of on-demand work, provide an extremely valuable contribution to the overall discussion.
The arguments Jeremias Prassl offers in this book will change the way you think about at work and labor law in a changing economy. It is a brilliant and fascinating book. A triumph.
The sudden arrival of the 'gig economy', and its exponential global growth, took both academics and policy-makers by surprise, exposing some regulations as no longer fit for purpose in the volatile conditions of digital global labour markets. Prassl provides us with a magisterial overview, cutting through starry-eyed myths about entrepreneurship, while exposing the realities of work that is managed by algorithms. This is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand not just the inadequacies of current legal frameworks for regulating this runaway new form of work organisation, but also, and more importantly, to do new model of employment protection fit for the 21st century.
Prassl offers a good survey of the literature... Humans as a Service should guide you to other useful avenues of thought as we seek to rethink employment law for the future of work.
