Résumé:
The research theme of the Master's Dissertation in Social Sciences is focused on
the reconfigurations of the contemporary labor market, in the delivery branch, due
to the emergence of this type of service in the tertiary sector in the current
conjuncture, in which the aforementioned activity was not observed in the past,
well not as seen in recent years. With the health crisis caused by the Covid-19
epidemic, and all the impacts caused by it in Brazil, here generalized as of March
2020, significant changes are observed in the world of work, among which the
recurrent use of people responsible for delivery of various goods. Thus, in this
research, we focus on the dynamics of reformulation of the notion of work – from
a tendency to precariousness – in the mentioned sector, from our own personal
experience as a delivery person and the face-to-face dialogue as well as through
social network (WhatsApp) with another ten couriers – totalizing eleven women
consulted. So, we highlight and focus on those workers who tend not to connect
to the major digital platforms in this field (Uber Eats, iFood, James Delivery, 99
Food, Rappi, etc.), from a gender and generation perspective, in their conditioning
potential of working positions. The central hypothesis of this Master's research is
that the mentioned variables serve as hierarchical classifiers in the labor segment
used for the study. We start from the assumption that a precariousness of work
observed in the current neoliberal world leads us to a discussion about how the
social constructions of gender and age affect social interactions in general and
specifically for the sphere of work.
