Outline of proposed changes

[edit]

Pay: more information needs to be included about gender pay gaps in the gig economy. More information about the extent of pay gaps and the instability of earnings as companies update platforms.

Self-Selection: More information is needed on why women self-select into gig work. Just adding more detail and some information about how occupational sex segregation extends into gig economy.
