... "click work" ... involves the remote completion of small tasks distributed via online platforms ...

OBS

... working conditions around click work are far from fair and the way it is designed benefits big companies ... the micro-tasking platforms ... connect these companies to the individual click workers ..., but rarely the workers themselves. Click workers are not provided any official employment arrangement; they are usually self-employed, have no contracts and hence, are not provided any benefits ... and no commitment to even pay the minimum wage of the country they reside in and are paid on a piecework basis.

CONT

[...] le «travail du clic» [est] caractérisé par [une] extrême fragmentation et standardisation en de (très) petites tâches, souvent routinières et répétitives. [...] Le travail du clic ne crée pas d'emplois salariés et n'ouvre pas de droit à une protection sociale [...] il est refoulé hors des frontières des entreprises traditionnelles, acheté en fonction des besoins («sur demande») auprès d'intermédiaires extérieurs qui se servent de puissants outils numériques [...] Ces intermédiaires sont pour la plupart des plateformes qui gèrent des «places de marché» en ligne ou des chaînes de sous-traitance de services à faible valeur ajoutée dans le secteur des nouvelles technologies.
