Informalization in gig food delivery in the UK: The case of hyper‐flexible and precarious work
基于定性数据，研究了英国平台送餐工作中正式骑手向无证移民分包零工的非正规化过程，以及平台公司如何通过宽松的人力资源实践和技术促成这种非正规劳动，加剧了超不稳定工作条件。
Abstract This article examines the process of informalization of work in platform food delivery work in the UK. Drawing on qualitative data, this article provides new analytical insight into what drives individual formal couriers to both supply and demand informalized sub‐contracted gig work to undocumented migrants, and how a platform company enables informal work practices through permissive HR practices and technology. In doing so, this article shows how platform companies are enablers of informal labor markets and contribute to the expansion of hyper‐precarious working conditions.
