Out of time: the work and free time of uberized delivery workers during the covid-19 pandemic

ABSTRACT

The objective of the research was to analyze the relationship between work, free time and leisure for delivery personnel who work through digital platforms, in the covid-19 pandemic context. This is a qualitative and descriptive study, carried out via semi-structured interviews and an online questionnaire, both with a convenience sample. The study shows that the precariousness given by the uberization process has intensified in the pandemic context. The results show that a large part of the delivery workers time is now dedicated to work, which reflected in the reduction of free time and in the even greater restriction of access to leisure.
