<![CDATA[his study examines how algorithmically managed platform work produces digital labor precarity among Indonesian millennials and identifies the structural conditions through which prolonged insecurity may increase exposure to transnational high-risk labor. Rather than assuming a direct transition from gig work to mercenary activity, the study proposes the Precariat–Transnational Risk Pathway as a cautious analytical framework linking platform control, income instability, weakened social protection, human-capital stagnation, and risky labor-mobility choices. An integrative qualitative literature review was conducted using peer-reviewed studies, Indonesian labor and legal scholarship, policy documents, and international humanitarian-law sources published primarily between 2021 and early 2026. Thematic synthesis generated four findings: algorithmic control produces constrained autonomy; income volatility encourages self-exploitation; limited training and career mobility erode human capital; and transnational security recruitment represents a conditional risk shaped by poverty, marginalization, prior skills, recruitment networks, and weak state protection. The study contributes an interdisciplinary model connecting digital labor studies with human-security analysis and recommends transparent platform governance, portable social protection, accessible grievance mechanisms, continuous reskilling, and preventive labor-migration oversight.]]>
