Abstract

Online labor markets are increasingly becoming a destination for work. These marketplaces include freelancing platforms such as Qapa and MisterTemp' in France, and TaskRabbit and Fiverr in the USA. On those platforms, workers can find temporary jobs in the physical world such as moving furniture, or in the form of virtual micro-gigs such as helping with designing a website. I will present the results of a study of fairness on those platforms, and discuss how human factors affect algorithm design. The talk will end with a summary of open questions on the Future of Work.
