01 Conducted a literature review of the existing scientific literature on women's experiences with platform labor.

- The design, assumptions, and realizations of technologies are never gender-neutral (Enyon, 2018).
- Technologization of women's work adds to their efforts to achieve professional status (Raval, 2019).
- The invisibility and quietness of app-based work give agency to women as they can quietly cancel jobs or take leave and prioritize home if needed (Raval, 2019).
- Female gig workers consistently receive poorer ratings from clients on platforms, not based on the quality of work performed but rather due to wider stereotypes (Criado-Perez, 2019). Encoding democratic practices into platform design, such as allowing requesters to rate workers but not allowing workers to rate requesters, creates an information asymmetry that makes it difficult for workers to sanction abusive clients and prevents other workers from learning which clients to avoid (Martin et al., 2014).
