摘要

网络咖啡厅的微工作是一种很有前途的扶贫工具。通过在印度浦那的三家咖啡馆和肯尼亚内罗毕的两家咖啡馆进行实验，我们调查了实际可行性问题。在调查中，99%的潜在员工确实想要这份工作。此外，测量的打字速度支持的工资率是当地工资中位数的几倍。我们还比较了手机和电脑的打字速度，发现即使是没有经验的用户使用电脑的速度也更快。

Exploring microwork opportunities through cybercafés

Microwork in cybercafés is a promising tool for poverty alleviation. Using experiments in three cafes in Pune, India, and two cafes in Nairobi, Kenya, we investigate questions of practical feasibility. In surveys, 99% of potential workers do want the work. In addition, measured typing speeds support pay rates several times the local median pay. We additionally compared typing speeds on mobile phones and computers, finding that even inexperienced users are faster using computers.
