This panel focuses on the intersection of digital technologies and migrant labour, from the tools migrants use to find work, to the conditions under which they do it. Panelists will draw on cases spanning the recruitment pipeline, examining how fintech, recruitment platforms, and the gig affect migrants at every stage: from algorithmic matching and digital labour contracting in origin countries to platform-based work at destination.
