This week we have a shorter edition than normal and will highlight one of our newsletter authors’ most recent academic piece that was recently digitized on arXiv, “From Double to Triple Burden: Gender Stratification in the Latin American Data Annotation Gig Economy.” This paper was originally presented at the proceedings of the International Network on Digital Labor 8th Conference in Bologna.
Her paper places a particular focus on the “triple burden” shouldered by women in the Majority World: unpaid care responsibilities, economic precarity, and the volatility of platform-mediated labor.
Take a read through and let us know what you think!
