抽象的

“Gig”经济的增长产生了工人的灵活性，有些人推测，将有利于妇女。我们通过在美国优步审查超过一百万骑士司机的劳动供应选择和收益来探讨这一点。我们在司机中记录了大约7％的性别盈利差距。我们表明，这个差距可以完全归因于三个因素：在平台上的经验（通过执行学习），在工作的地方的偏好（主要是通过驱动程序而在较小的驾驶员，安全的地方驱动，偏好）和偏好驾驶速度。我们没有发现男性和妇女对特定时间的味道差异影响，返回境内工作强度或客户歧视。我们的结果表明，没有理由期望“演出”经济界面界定。Even in the absence of discrimination and in flexible labor markets, women’s relatively high opportunity cost of non-paid-work time and gender-based differences in preferences and constraints can sustain a gender pay gap.Flexible work through apps like Uber has some features that should narrow the gender pay gap: there are no convex returns to long hours and earnings are determined by a gender-blind formula without negotiation. However, this paper documents an average hourly earnings gap of 7 percent between male and female Uber drivers in the US. Three factors completely explain this gap. Because drivers improve with experience on the platform, the fact that the average male driver is more experienced than the average female driver explains one third of the pay gap. Men’s slightly higher driving speed — a 2.2% difference — further explains one half of the gap. The remainder of the gap is explained by men driving in locations with higher surge and shorter wait times.
