FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF SPACE: VEHICLE RENTALS AS A NEW ELEMENT OF PRECARIOUS UBERIZED WORK

space-time compression; uberization; precariousness of work

The work intends to discuss the spatial circuits of Uber drivers' activity, particularly the case of drivers who need to rent cars to be able to work. The intention is to research how this dimension generates a new reality of inequality, difficulty and exploitation for workers, who are not only subordinated to a platform but also to the rent of their work environment. The focus is workers in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
