In addition to the economic context, the advancement of technology is also responsible for the increase in informal workers. The trend of hiring freelancers through digital platforms, such as delivery and urban mobility apps, has even gained a name: Gig Economy, or gig-based economy. For the tech giants that own these apps, drivers are self-employed workers who have no employment relationship. In addition to not being subject to any regulation and legal protection, professionals who develop this type of work do not contribute to Social Security and do not have benefits such as Unemployment Insurance, vacation, and thirteenth salary. Moreover, they still bear all the costs of the activity they perform. In a report that interviewed some of these workers, drivers claimed to suffer from spinal problems and stress in traffic, as well as long working hours. For these reasons, the Gig Economy is at the center of a global discussion about the responsibility of these millionaire companies for the working conditions of the labor force they hire. In the midst of the legal limbo, those who suffer are the workers of these platforms, who are doubly unprotected - by companies and the State.
