En muchas ocasiones se trata de bienes o servicios que no estaban siendo completamente utilizados y gracias a la economía colaborativa una persona puede beneficiarse de ese bien o servicio, mientras la propietaria obtiene una ganancia. Por ello, al consumo de bienes y servicios de forma colaborativa entre particulares se le conoce como consumo colaborativo. Anteriormente, el consumo colaborativo se limitaba a nuestro ámbito geográfico y círculo más cercano. Sin embargo, gracias a Internet, es posible conectar con personas de todo el mundo con intereses comunes. La digitalización de la sociedad y la crisis económica, favoreció el desarrollo de nuevos modelos de negocio y nuevas formas de consumo.

"Through a series of studies, the overarching aim of this book is to investigate if and how the digitalization/digital transformation process causes (or may cause) the autonomy of various labor functions, and its impact in creating (or stymieing) various job opportunities on the labor market. This book also seeks to illuminate what actors/groups are mostly benefited by the digitalization/digital transformation and which actors/groups that are put at risk by it. This book takes its point of departure from a 2016 OECD report that contends that the impact digitalization has on the future of labor is ambiguous as on the one hand it is suggested that technological change is labor-saving, but on the other hand, it is suggested that digital technologies have not created new jobs on a scale that it replaces old jobs. Another 2018 OECD report indicated that digitalization and automation as such does not pose a real risk of destroying any significant number of jobs for the foreseeable future, although tasks would by and large change significantly. This would affects welfare, as most of its revenue stems from taxation, and particularly so from the taxation on labor (directly or indirectly). For this reason, this book will set out to explore how the future technological and societal advancements impact labor conditions. The book seeks to provide an innovative, enriching and controversial take on how various aspects of the labor market can be (and are) affected the ongoing digitalization trend in a way that is not covered by extant literature. As such, this book intends to cater to a wider readership, from a general audience and students, to specialized processionals and academics wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the possible future developments of the labor market in light of an accelerating digitalization/digital transformation of society at large"--

From riders to interns, from freelancers to part-time workers: employment today is increasingly flexibleand precarious. With the tools of social inquiry, the authors present a critical picture of the phenomenon of the so-called "free work" in Switzerland, that is a job rendered in the absence of corresponding remuneration.

"One of the most significant trends in American higher education over the last decade has been the shift in faculty employment from tenured to contingent. Now upwards of 75 percent of faculty jobs are non-tenure track (it had been 25 percent two decades ago.) One of the results of this shift--along with the related degradation of pay, benefits, and working conditions--has been a new push to unionize adjuncts. This book is the first ever to look at this trend. This edited volume brings together scholars who have been involved with these efforts at colleges and universities. They address the context and cause of these efforts. They look at various efforts across the industry to collectively bargain, and they consider the results of those efforts. Finally, the authors consider the impact of those unionization efforts on campus and on the teaching and learning that happens there. Adjunct Higher Ed brings research and case studies to bear on the cost and benefit questions of contingent labor on campus"-- "One of the most significant trends in American higher education over the last decade has been the shift in faculty employment from tenured to contingent. Now upwards of 75% of faculty jobs are non-tenure track; two decades ago that figure was 25%. One of the results of this shift--along with the related degradation of pay, benefits, and working conditions--has been a new push to unionize adjunct professors, spawning a national labor movement. Professors in the Gig Economy is the first book to address the causes, processes, and outcomes of these efforts. Kim Tolley brings together scholars of education, labor history, economics, religious studies, and law, all of whom have been involved with unionization at public and private colleges and universities. Their essays and case studies address the following questions: Why have colleges and universities come to rely so heavily on contingent faculty? How have federal and state laws influenced efforts to unionize? What happens after unionization--how has collective bargaining affected institutional policies, shared governance, and relations between part-time and full-time faculty? And finally, how have unionization efforts shaped the teaching and learning that happens on campus? Bringing substantial research and historical context to bear on the cost and benefit questions of contingent labor on campus, Professors in the Gig Economy will resonate with general readers, scholars, students, higher education professionals, and faculty interested in unionization.
