Capitalismo, tecnologia e “Uberização”: um estudo sociológico da precarização do trabalho no Brasil a partir da reforma da legislação trabalhista de 2017

Abstract

This study focuses on the processes of productive restructuring coupled with the adoption of new technologies in the world of work, seeking to examine how such uses affects the conditions of use of the workforce in Brazil. Through a narrative review such as systematic literature, we analyze the relationship between labor and technology in capitalism, along with the empirical analysis of studies on the current Labor Reform, as well as aided by secondary data. We address the constituent elements of information and communication technologies (TICS), as well as the design of the nascent Industry 4.0. We conclude that the Reform has a negative impact on the Brazilian workforce, in addition to legalizing and contributing to the precariousness of labor relations in various sectors. It has come to meet the demands of employers at this stage of capitalist accumulation based on the flexibility of employment relations and the use of advanced technologies. Demonstrate through the study conducted a strong correlation between technological development and work degradation.
