The report only considers the private sector of services carried out through applications, and does not include the public or military sectors. Thus, it shows that the category of app professionals today account for around 2.4% of the Brazilian workforce.
Main problems indicated by IBGE research
App workers are mostly men (81.3%) and the average earnings are 37% lower than those of workers in the same area outside the platforms.
Some of the data indicate, for example, that application workers Those appointed by IBGE receive around R$8.70 per hour on the platforms.
Compared to the scenario of the same profession outside the platforms, workers receive more, around R$11.90 per hour worked.

Furthermore, app workers indicated that they work approximately 6.5 hours more per week than in the formal private sector. Therefore, it totals around 46 hours of work per week.
Even so, these professionals earn 37% less income than workers in the same functions outside of apps.
Another negative point is the low contribution of these workers to Social Security, reaching a small percentage of just 35.7%.
Other problematic aspects, according to the research
According to the IBGE study, “even though, in the vast majority of cases, employment relationships are not established formal agreements with the companies that control such applications, there is evidence of a certain degree of dependence on these workers".
Even without establishing a formal employment relationship, the applications still require drivers and workers to meet stipulated goals and deadlines.
Therefore, when these objectives are not met, there is a threat of punishment and even the blocking of these professionals.
Also according to IBGE: “The data therefore reveals limited autonomy and control over the exercise of one’s own work, especially for platform workers in the private passenger transport and transportation sectors. delivery".
