Beyond and Behind Platforms and Algorithms: Exploring the Lived Experiences of Gig Workers
No full textWhile the literature on gig work is expanding rapidly, many are the issues that need to be answered in order to fully understand the lived experiences of gig workers and illuminate the dynamics of gig work. Despite it is widely recognized that gig workers constitute an heterogenous workforce, for instance, seminal works have focused on finding similarities among gig workers across platforms, while the mechanisms behind different gig workers’ behaviors and perceptions are still widely obscure. Moreover, most of the literature focuses on what gig workers do individually on platforms, but not – or only cursorily – on how these workers manage the interplay between their online and offline activities. Specifically, comprehending how the online dimensions of work blur or integrate with offline aspects of gig workers’ lives – such as family condition or family needs, the presence of alternative, offline jobs, the cultural context of the community and country of origin – is of significant importance. This symposium addresses these issues by examining what happens behind and beyond platforms, and by presenting four papers looking at different gig workers’ experiences and different forms of interplay between online and offline aspects of gig work.

Sex trafficking of girls and women : Evidence from Anantapur district, Andhra Pradesh
No full textA crucial gap in the trafficking literature from India is the dearth of primary data and micro studies that could be used for vulnerability mapping of the source areas and addressing the identified risk factors. The present paper is a small attempt to contribute to plugging the gap in the context of Andhra Pradesh, identified as a hot spot in the trafficking literature. This paper is based on case studies of 78 women who had been trafficked from their places of origin in Anantapur district in Andhra Pradesh to metropolitan cities across India and who have since returned to their homes. The paper attempted to identify the individual and family circumstances that contribute to the causes of trafficking, to highlight in particular the gendered vulnerabilities that set these women up for trafficking, and to capture the process of the trafficking experience. The findings of the study are located in the dynamic interplay of the social structural context and specificities of the district that contribute to causes of trafficking and the individual circumstances and agency of the women. The case studies reported in this paper are a pointer to the compelling urgency of interventions that will go beyond the forced / voluntary divide in trafficking and sex work.Andhra Pradesh, India, trafficking
Young adult resilience for recovery to substance addiction in Assam, India: Practitioner reflections on pathways to recovery model
No full textIndia has more than 50% of its population below the age of 25 years. This is a huge potential human resource. However, the mental health report, National Mental Health Survey (NMHS) for the state of Assam, on which this chapter is based, highlights that in 2015–2016, nearly 5.85% of people aged 18 years and above required active interventions for one or more mental health issues including substance use disorder (SUD). This data reflects that mental wellbeing can be a hindering factor for sustainable socio-economic development and should be considered a public health priority. This chapter focuses on ‘The Big Picture’ project that was aimed at understanding the lived experience of young Assamese people around risk, recovery and resilience in relation to substance misuse. The bedrock of the project was the use of psychosocial visual participatory methods involving photo-led interviews which centralizes the lived experience of our participants. In total 15 young Assamese people (11 men; 4 women) aged 19–24 years provided detailed information about their journey to recover from SUD. This allowed the development of a multi-route, multidirectional pathways to recovery model comprising three phases: Recreational Use, Addiction (Relaxed, Chaotic, Strategic) and Supported Recovery. This chapter provides a summary and practitioner reflection in the context of Assam on the pathways to SUD recovery model developed in ‘The Big Picture.
