Inequality Talks is a podcast from the volunteers at Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke, Aarhus. Through discussion, debate, and interview, each episode explores a different concept, problem, or idea relating to issues of inequality (economic, gendered, racial, or otherwise). Each episode aims to offer an overview for the uninitiated before diving into the significance of current events, the complexities of what a given idea might mean, and what alternatives to the current status quo might look like in practice. This project has been supported by: ’Den almennyttige fond af 15. september 1968’.

In this episode, Elise interviews Maybritt Hennig on precarious labor in the so-called online platform economy. Following an introduction into the world of online platform employment, we discuss its evolution through history and its current trends within the global labor market. May outlines the various legal, economic, and social forms of precariousness imposed on workers within the online platform economy that go largely unnoticed by the rest of society. We discuss topics such as algorithmic management, the digital capitalist service economy, permanent surveillance, and more.
