摘要

自大约十年前出现以来,微任务众包已经吸引了来自全球各地的形形色色的员工。本文旨在探讨迄今为止国际众包劳动力的特点,并对十个精心挑选的国家的众包工人进行跨国比较。我们提供了人口特征的分析和比较,并阐明了微任务收入对处于不同国家背景下的工人的重要性。这项研究获得了超过11000份个人回复,是第一次对Figure Eight平台(前身为CrowdFlower)上的员工特征进行大规模的国家级分析,Figure Eight是主导微任务市场的两大平台之一。我们发现,不同国家的人群劳动力的特征存在很大差异,无论是在人口统计学方面,还是在工人的微任务收入的重要性方面。此外,我们发现,在不同的时间点采取的样本中,十个国家的劳动力构成在很大程度上是稳定的。

Characterizing the Global Crowd Workforce: A Cross-Country Comparison of Crowdworker Demographics
Since its emergence roughly a decade ago, micro-task crowdsourcing has been attracting a heterogeneous set of workers from all over the globe. This paper sets out to explore the characteristics of the international crowd workforce to date and offers a cross-national comparison of crowdworker populations from ten hand-selected countries. We provide an analysis and comparison of demographic characteristics and shed light on the significance of micro-task income for workers situated in different national contexts. With over 11,000 individual responses, this study is the first large-scale country-level analysis of the characteristics of workers on the platform Figure Eight (formerly CrowdFlower), one of the two platforms dominating the micro-task market. We find large differences between the characteristics of the crowd workforces of different countries, both regarding demography and regarding the importance of micro-task income for workers. Furthermore, we find that the composition of the workforce in the ten countries was largely stable across samples taken at different points in time.
