众包工作报酬低，设计效率低，伤害了工人。但是，尽管工作质量差对全球北方的工人来说是显而易见的，但许多人认为，这些工作对全球南方来说是一个布恩，因为那里的工资水平较低，就业前景更差。鉴于工作机会更加有限，而且远程工作有可能使人留在原籍国，因此一些发展中国家政府和一些国际机构正在提供援助，支持工人从事众包工作，这并不奇怪。但是，众包工作是一些人建议的“银弹”，也是全球南方所希望的吗？本章根据国际劳工局（劳工组织）的一项调查结果，对全球南方和全球北方的众包工作者的工作条件进行了比较。在2015年和2017年，国际劳工组织对五个领先的英语微任务平台进行了调查：Amazon Mechanical Turk（AMT），Clickworker，Crowdflower（后更名为Appen），Microworker和Prolific，以了解更多关于工人体验的信息。该调查于2015年首次发布在AMT和Crowdflower平台上，供受访者填写，然后重新发布（经过一些调整），在这两个平台以及Clickworker，Microworker和Prolific上。2最终的干净样本包括来自75个国家的工人的大约3，500份完整的问卷，尽管本章的分析是基于3个样本，3调查答复提供了关于工人的社会人口特征、从事众包工作的原因、经济状况、工作条件以及众包工作者不同工作经历的信息。由于分析的重点是解释全球南方和全球北方工人的工作质量和工作动机，因此我们按性别对全球北方和全球南方之间的调查结果进行了分类，当
Crowdwork is low paying and suffers from inefficiencies in design that hurt workers. But while the poor quality of the work is evident for workers in the Global North, many argue that these jobs are a boon for the Global South where wage levels are lower and job prospects are worse. Given more limited job opportunities and the possibility that remote work provides to remain in one’s country of origin, it is not surprising that a number of developing country governments and some international agencies are providing assistance to support workers to pursue crowdwork. But is crowdwork the ‘silver bullet’ that some suggest and which the Global South hopes for? This chapter makes a comparison of working conditions of crowdworkers in the Global South and Global North drawing on findings from a survey undertaken by the International Labour Office (ILO). In 2015 and 2017, the ILO conducted a survey on five leading, English-language microtask platforms: Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT), Clickworker, Crowdflower (since renamed Appen), Microworker and Prolific to learn more about workers’ experience. The survey was first posted in 2015 on the AMT and Crowdflower platforms for respondents to fill out and then reposted (with some adjustments) in 2017, on these two platforms as well as Clickworker, Microworker and Prolific.2 The final clean sample included approximately 3,500 completed questionnaires from workers present in 75 countries, although this chapter’s analysis is based on a sample of 3,189 workers.3 The survey responses provide information on the socio-demographic characteristics of the workers, their reasons for performing crowdwork, their financial situation, their working conditions, as well as the different work experiences of the crowdworkers. As the focus of the analysis is to explain job quality and work motivations among workers in the Global South and Global North, we disaggregate findings between the Global North and the Global South as well as by sex, when
