The emergence of online labour platforms in the Global South is rapidly changing the world of work. On the one hand, online work may create new opportunities for those who would otherwise have no access to similarly gainful employment or be able to join the global knowledge economy. On the other, online work may put pressure on labour markets (and labour rights) in the Global North, as online work is outsourced to the lowest bidders in the Global South. Online workers from the Global South may perform mundane, low-paid work at arms-length, without much learning or significant contractual benefits, and without pathways to high-value services in the global knowledge economy. These and other issues will be discussed in this GIGA Talk, as based on new findings by GIGA researchers as well as other experts.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
