Abstract

ABSTRACT This article analyses the working conditions of women on food delivery digital platforms given that women’s experiences and gender inequality in this sector has been under-explored. Drawing on original survey and interview data on platform-based food delivery workers, we deploy an intersectional lens to explore the ways in which women, especially mothers and other caregivers, experience working in food delivery. Likewise, we analyse inequalities in opportunities and working conditions, and experiences between women and men delivery workers, focusing on income, motivations to join the sector, work environment, and occupational risks. The article finally concludes by providing some recommendations to policymakers to address and guarantee decent working conditions to workers in these new forms of employment.

墨西哥城的送餐员：零工经济的性别视角

摘要本文分析了女性在送餐数字平台上的工作条件，因为女性在这一领域的经历和性别不平等问题尚未得到充分探讨。根据对基于平台的送餐员的原始调查和采访数据，我们采用交叉视角来探索女性，尤其是母亲和其他照顾者在送餐工作中的体验。同样，我们分析了男女送货员在机会和工作条件以及经验方面的不平等，重点关注收入、加入该行业的动机、工作环境和职业风险。文章最后向政策制定者提出了一些建议，以解决和保障这些新就业形式中工人的体面工作条件。

期刊介绍： Since 1993, Gender & Development has aimed to promote, inspire, and support development policy and practice, which furthers the goal of equality between women and men. This journal has a readership in over 90 countries and uses clear accessible language. Each issue of Gender & Development focuses on a topic of key interest to all involved in promoting gender equality through development. An up-to-the minute overview of the topic is followed by a range of articles from researchers, policy makers, and practitioners. Insights from development initiatives across the world are shared and analysed, and lessons identified. Innovative theoretical concepts are explored by key academic writers, and the uses of these concepts for policy and practice are explored.
