Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Research has primarily focused on understanding the perspectives and experiences of US based crowdworkers, leaving a notable gap to those within the Global South. To bridge this, we conducted a survey with 100 crowdworkers across 16 Latin American and Caribbean countries. To understand the tensions between the crowdworking economy abroad. In our study we found crowd work being the stepping stone to financial and professional independence among those we surveyed along with the tensions within data extraction among crowdworkers.
