Justine Levy et al., « L’ « Uberisation » des banlieues parisiennes. Travail et production de subjectivité dans la on demand economy. », HAL-SHS : sociologie, ID : 10.3280/SL2019-154007
This article proposes an analysis of the “extractive” model of the on-demand economy platforms. The attention is focused on the emblematic case of Uber in the French context, specifically in the city of Paris. A field inquiry highlights how most of the drivers registered on the platform come from the disadvantages banlieues and belong to the working poor class. Our paper also aims at pointing out the ambition of these workers to a greater level of autonomy and social mobility, in light of the public policies encouraging self-employment and of Uber’s marketing strategies. Nevertheless, the economic and management model of the platform seems to undermine the statute of independence of these workers and compromising the financial equilibrium of their activity. These are the reasons that have led to the organization of some mobilizations and legal actions against the platform, analyzed in the concluding section.
