| Summary: | <p class="first" id="d229122e82">The paper frames the emergence of the Portuguese gig economy within the broader process
of platformisation of work in Europe as set in motion by the neoliberal turn at a
global scale. Against this background the case of Portugal in general and that of
Lisbon in particular are analysed to show both their consistency with the general
trends of the European Union's economic dynamics and their irreducible peculiarities.
These latter particularities, and especially the so-called ‘Uber Law’, are discussed
in connection with the hypothesis of a specifically Portuguese variety of the gig
economy.
