Abstract

Les plateformes de micro-travail allouent des tâches fragmentées à des foules de prestataires dont la rémunération peut être aussi faible que quelques centimes. Indispensables pour développer les intelligences artificielles actuelles, ces micro-tâches poussent à l'extrême les logiques de précarité déjà constatées à l'égard des travailleurs « uberisés ». Cet article propose une estimation du nombre de personnes concernées par la micro-travail en France, sur la base des résultats de l'enquête DiPLab. Nous détectons trois types de micro-travailleurs, correspondant à différents modes d'engagement : un groupe de 14.903 individus « très actifs », dont la plupart sont présents sur ces plateformes au moins une fois par semaine ; un deuxième accueillant 52.337 usagers « réguliers », plus sélectifs et présents au moins une fois par mois ; un troisième de 266.126 « occasionnels », plus hétérogènes et qui alternent entre l'inactivité et une pratique plus intensive du micro-travail. Ces résultats montrent que le microtravail a une incidence comparable voire supérieure aux effectifs des plateformes VTC et de livraison-express en France. Il n'est donc pas un phénomène anecdotique et il mérite une grande attention de la part des chercheurs, des partenaires sociaux et des décideurs publics.
