Gender Pay Discrepancy in the Gig Economy

Suggested by Hannah Dopico over 1 year ago

"On average, male freelancers charge 48% more per hour than their female counterparts... [Freelancers] are left to negotiate rates on their own, with few resources or support. All of the research on negotiations shows if women negotiate under the same exact verbal script as a man, a woman is seen as cold and selfish."

alarm Why Now?

While job seekers of all genders are demanding more flexibility, for many women, especially those in caregiving roles, flexibility is not only a commodity but a necessity. Even in a system that promises greater freedom and autonomy, women’s compensation lags, threatening to magnify the global gender pay gap that the World Economic Forum says will already take 132 years to close.
