Draws on prior empirical studies and policy analyses of algorithmic management cited in the literature review; no new empirical data collected in this paper.
Task versus job displacement operate differently across institutional contexts: in formal labour markets, task automation can be accommodated through reallocation or protections, while in informal platform work task loss typically becomes outright job loss.
Argument built from secondary literature comparing formal and informal labour-market institutions and existing empirical studies on reallocation mechanisms; conceptual analysis in the paper (qualitative synthesis only).
AI-driven automation in platform-based informal work in India primarily displaces tasks, but because workers lack job security, institutional protections, and access to alternative labour tracks, task-level automation often manifests as full job displacement.
