We compare individuals engaged in online crowdwork against workers in traditional occupations from the United States and Europe, investigating the determinants of access into crowd employment and the nature of the deterioration of salary conditions and job quality characterizing these markets. We do so by matching responses from comparable working conditions surveys, and controlling for most individual and socio-economic characteristics affecting pay. We find that most differences in earnings are largely unexplained by the ability of individuals, and that labor in crowdwork is vastly under-utilized.

人群中的工人：网络平台经济对劳动力市场的影响

我们将从事在线众包工作的个人与美国和欧洲从事传统职业的工人进行比较，调查进入人群就业的决定因素以及这些市场的工资条件和工作质量恶化的性质。我们通过匹配来自可比较的工作条件调查的回复，并控制影响薪酬的大多数个人和社会经济特征来做到这一点。我们发现，大多数收入差异在很大程度上无法用个人能力来解释，而众包工作中的劳动力也没有得到充分利用。
