Lonely Work: Gig Work, Workplace Technology and Working-Class Loneliness
论证低收入工作结构变化和工作场所技术发展剥夺了工作提供的社会性福利，指出平台零工、自动化和监控技术减少了工作内外的社交机会，并建议政府通过监管和改革应对这一正义问题。
Abstract In this paper, I argue that changes in the structure of low-income work and developments in workplace technology have stripped away many of the essential social goods provided by such work. I identify the rise of platform gig work, adoption of automation tools, and use of employee efficiency monitoring technologies as developments that have both squeezed opportunities for socialization out of the workday and made it more difficult to find and plan social activities outside the workplace. I argue that the desocialization of work is a matter of justice that should concern states and suggest a number of potential regulations and pro-worker reforms to address the problem.
