Title: Fairness in Online Labor Markets
Abstract
Online labor markets are increasingly becoming a destination to hire people to perform some tasks. These marketplaces include freelancing platforms such as Qapa and MisterTemp’ in France, and TaskRabbit and Fiverr in the USA. On those platforms, workers can find temporary jobs in the physical world such as moving furniture, or in the form of virtual micro-gigs such as helping with designing a website. I will discuss algorithmic fairness on those platforms and open questions related to that.This is joint work with Shady Elbassuoni from the American Unibversity in Beirut.
