This study examines the future of labor in the Middle East and Africa from a political philosophy angle, concentrating on the emergence of algorithmic governance and its effects on justice, autonomy, and regulation within platform-driven economies. Historically, political philosophy has influenced labor markets by incorporating ethical concepts into labor regulation, from Plato's idea of fair hierarchies to John Locke's argument for property and freedom, and Karl Marx's analysis of exploitation. These concepts led to significant developments like Britain's Trade Union Act of 1871 and labor reforms after colonialism, converting normative principles into organizational frameworks. In today's digital labor landscape, algorithms increasingly substitute human managers, reshaping employment terms without democratic accountability. Drawing on a diverse philosophical canon—including classical, liberal, socialist, and postcolonial thought—this paper explores how such transformations challenge foundational concepts of fairness, responsibility, and political agency. It interrogates digital labor trends in MEA—such as automation-driven skill shifts, gig-based precarity, and opaque platform control—through a normative analysis informed by Rawlsian distributive justice, Arendtian action, and Fanon's resistance ethics. Methodologically, the study combines philosophical inquiry with regional policy analysis, highlighting how these traditions can inspire concrete labor reforms. It aligns with the International Labour Organization's evolving mission to regulate algorithmic labor, proposing actionable frameworks including worker data rights, algorithmic audits, and rights-based governance models tailored to MEA realities. By bridging political theory and pragmatic policy, the study positions itself as a forward-looking contribution to equitable labor futures—where platforms are governed not solely by code, but by values rooted in justice and human dignity.
