The rise of the gig economy is reshaping labor relations globally, and in Portugal, this phenomenon is intertwined with the growing flow of Brazilian migrants. This study aims to analyze the labor market insertion of Brazilian immigrants in the gig economy in Portugal and the gender, race, generation, and educational markers of this movement. The research, descriptive and exploratory in nature, is based on a bibliographic and documentary survey, using articles indexed in the SciELO and Scopus databases, complemented by official data from AIMA, PORDATA, and EUROSTAT. The results reveal that the gig economy, although offering an entry point into the labor market, frequently translates into precarious work, exhausting workdays, and a lack of rights. It is concluded that an ethical and political commitment to the regulation of platform work is urgently needed, aiming at the protection of human and labor rights and the construction of a more just society.
