They work without human superiors, without office space, and often without certainty of rights. This phenomenon of digital workers represents a structural transformation in the world of work, where pseudo-flexibility and individualization of risk have become the new norm. This condition directly challenges two main pillars of our labor system: higher education and labor law.

As a result, digital workers are in a very vulnerable position, not only to exploitation, but also to social and political marginalization.
