A solution for whom? Digital work platforms and the crisis of social reproduction

Isabella Stingl

WZB-Mitteilungen: Quartalsheft für Sozialforschung, 2023, issue 180 (2/23), Online-Supplement

Abstract: Among other things, the so-called crisis of social reproduction refers to the fact that many households have less and less time and energy available for housework and care work. Digital work platforms that offer access to inexpensive and flexible delivery, cleaning, or care services in just a few clicks seem to provide a solution. But how does the platform model affect the everyday lives of those who relieve others of these tasks? Isabella Stingl investigates this question based on the experiences of platform workers in the cleaning and care sector in Berlin and Zurich.
