巴西近200萬人靠數位平台維生,工時長時薪低成全球共同挑戰

Quick Look

巴西國家地理統計局調查顯示,近200萬人透過數位平台工作,占就業人口1.9%,平均每週工時44.7小時比傳統勞工多5小時,但時薪低12%。台灣Worky也觀察到類似趨勢,彈性工作正成為主要收入來源,女性為主力。全球勞動市場面臨如何平衡工作彈性與勞工保障的共同挑戰。

Why It Matters

數位平台工作在巴西和台灣等地興起,提供彈性就業機會,但同時帶來工時延長、收入不穩和保障不足等問題。

(中央社記者唐雅陵聖保羅4日專電)巴西近200萬人靠數位平台維生,占總就業人口近2%。雖然平台工作彈性高,但勞工普遍面臨工時更長、時薪偏低、收入不穩與保障不足等困境。台灣也出現類似趨勢,如何在工作彈性與勞工保障間平衡,成為全球勞動市場共同的挑戰。

據巴西國家地理統計局(IBGE)最新調查,2025年巴西近200萬人透過數位平台工作,占全體就業人口1.9%,以Uber、99等乘客運輸平台為主,約6成;外送平台則近3成。這些「平台勞工」平均每週工時達44.7小時,比傳統勞工多5小時,但平均每小時收入卻低了12%。

BBC巴西新聞網等媒體今天報導,平台勞工平均月收入約巴西幣3147元(約新台幣2萬元),與傳統勞工相去不遠,但因工時明顯拉長,實際時薪反而偏低。值得注意的是,近4成勞工完全依賴單一平台,一旦遭停權或平台變更規則,生計將面臨嚴重衝擊。

IBGE分析,平台業者不僅媒合工作,更深度介入薪資計算、客戶分配與付款方式,顯示勞工名義上雖為自雇者,實質上卻高度受制於平台。

此類平台勞動型態的轉變似乎並非巴西獨有。台灣人力媒合平台Worky也觀察到類似趨勢,非典型就業比例逐年上升,部分勞工雖無固定雇主,卻維持接近全職的工時與收入,顯示「彈性工作」正逐漸轉變為主要收入來源。其中,女性更是彈性就業的主力,兼顧家庭與工作成為投入平台的主因。

巴西與台灣的案例凸顯全球勞動市場的共同難題,數位平台工作雖然提供高彈性與快速獲得收入的管道,但也伴隨工時過長、缺乏保障與高度依賴等風險。各國政府如何在維護市場彈性與保障勞工權益之間尋求平衡,將是無法迴避的關鍵課題。(編輯:張芷瑄)
