Abstract

Abstract: This study analyzes the impact of digital commerce platforms on the Quito labor market during the 2021-2022 period. Several key topics are covered, such as the emergence of the digital economy, technological unemployment, the positive and negative aspects of technology in the economy, the interaction between technology, globalization and employment, working conditions in a digitalized economy and the influence of the health crisis. In addition, home delivery platforms are examined in detail, investigating the production costs and requirements imposed by digital delivery platforms, as well as the use of blockchain technology in this context. The results and discussions of the study highlight sociodemographic aspects of delivery drivers, provide meaningful descriptions of digital platforms, assess the level of job satisfaction, and analyze the costs, benefits, and risks involved. The study mainly seeks to understand the challenges and opportunities posed by digital commerce platforms, in order to generate relevant knowledge that allows for the recommendation of policies and decisions focused on the labor market within a digitized economy.
