Main Article Content
Abstract
In the future of capitalism, platform workers have to face precarious work, insecurity, and dangerousness, which is transitioning from long-term and short-term contracts to on-demand work. The first step is understanding platform workers in many issues, such as forms of work, the status of precarious labour, and obstacles between the formal sector and the informal sector. The second is a consideration of digital platforms those are a multi-sided platform (e.g. contractors, clients, and platform providers). The final is an explanation of the status of platform workers as an independent contractor and have the argument to sharing economy because of unfairness of resource distribution in the economic structure. Furthermore, the argument of flexibility is becoming indecent work, and it is exploitation in the new form of neoliberal capitalism by platform providers.
