"These days, we use apps to order food, call ride-sharing vehicles, assign home
improvement tasks and personal errands. But these apps depend on people to
deliver the promised service — to deliver food, provide rides and complete
tasks. These gig workers use the apps to find work, and in North America,
nearly half of these service workers are women.
Platforms that provide gig services use powerful algorithms, artificial
intelligence and big data to provide access for millions of gig workers and
customers. That was how these platforms were able to disrupt established
industries, like taxi and delivery services.
However, women gig workers deal with bias and harassment in the workplace.
Women Uber drivers, for instance, earn less, feel unsafe and experience
unwanted advances and sexual assaults."
