Resumo: Informality is a historical feature of the Brazilian labor market. Its economic and social importance is undeniable. In this essay, considering the gig economy and digital labor markets phenomenon, we argue that a process of “managing the informal economy” is underway. It is observed that big companies are mediating labor relations through online platforms, using informal work. This phenomenon reorganizes and amplifies informality, creating a new employment statute by merging characteristics of formality (such as control, performance evaluation, and financial incentives) and informality (due to the autonomous nature and the lack of employment relationship with the organization). In Brazil, app-based work has grown substantially, reinforcing the need for theoretical and empirical investigation.

En este ensayo, al articular los ejes de informalidad y mercados laborales digitales, propios de la gig economy, se defiende la tesis del “emprendimiento informal”, en la que las grandes empresas comienzan a mediar relaciones a través de plataformas online, utilizando el trabajo informal. Este fenómeno reorganiza y amplifica la informalidad, creando un nuevo estatuto laboral en el que se fusionan características de la actividad formal, como el control, la evaluación del desempeño y los incentivos financieros, y la informal, por el carácter autónomo y la falta de vínculos laborales. En Brasil, los medios de asignación de mano de obra mediada por aplicaciones han crecido sustancialmente, lo que refuerza la necesidad de una investigación teórica y empírica del fenómeno.É inegável a importância econômica e social do trabalho informal como característica histórica do mercado de trabalho brasileiro. Neste ensaio, ao articular os eixos da informalidade e dos mercados laborais digitais, típicos da gig economy, defende-se a tese do “empresariamento da informalidade”, em que grandes empresas passam a mediar relações por meio de plataformas on-line, utilizando o trabalho informal. Esse fenômeno reorganiza e amplifica a informalidade, criando um novo estatuto laboral em que são mescladas características de atividade formal, como controle, avaliação de desempenho e incentivos financeiros, e informal, pela natureza autônoma e pela falta de vínculos trabalhistas.
