Direitos trabalhistas e empreendedorismo no contexto da economia compartilhada: Flexibilização e garantias fundamentais

Abstract

This study analyzed the relationship between labor rights and entrepreneurship in the context of the sharing economy, marked by technological transformations and new forms of work organization. Its objective was to verify how the flexibilization of labor standards could occur without compromising the fundamental guarantees ensured by the 1988 Federal Constitution. The theoretical-legal method was used, based on current legislation, specialized doctrine, and studies on the impact of digital platforms, such as Uber and iFood, on labor relations. The results demonstrated that the sharing economy has expanded the possibilities for income generation and autonomy, but has also intensified the risks of precariousness, due to the absence of formal ties and adequate social protection. It was found that responsible flexibilization, guided by reasonableness and respect for constitutional principles, constitutes an essential instrument for conciliatory innovation, economic freedom, and the dignity of the worker. It is concluded that the contemporary challenge of Labor Law consists of adapting to new productive forms, guaranteeing legal security, social protection, and sustainable development.
