在线劳动力市场中的性别工资差距：中断的代价

中文摘要

本文分析了亚马逊土耳其机器人（Amazon Mechanical Turk）这一广受欢迎的在线劳动力平台上工作模式和工资的性别差异。基于200万项任务的信息，我们发现任务选择和经验方面均不存在性别差异。尽管如此，女性的平均时薪低20%。工作模式的性别差异是造成这一工资差距的重要因素。女性更有可能中断其在平台上的工作时间，这对她们的任务完成速度产生了影响。一项后续调查显示，工作模式和时薪的性别差异集中在有子女的劳动者中。

Abstract

Abstract This paper analyzes gender differences in working patterns and wages on Amazon Mechanical Turk, a popular online labor platform. Using information on 2 million tasks, we find no gender differences in task selection nor experience. Nonetheless, women earn 20% less per hour on average. Gender differences in working patterns are a significant driver of this wage gap. Women are more likely to interrupt their working time on the platform with consequences for their task completion speed. A follow-up survey shows that the gender differences in working patterns and hourly wages are concentrated among workers with children.
