报告主题：Does Greater Flexibility of Online Labor Markets Encourage Female Participation? Evidence from an Online Freelancing Platform.
Abstract:Do women value flexible jobs that allow the freedom to choose the time of the work more than men?We conduct an online experiment on a major international freelancing labour market plat- form to study the impact ofgreater flexibility in choosing work hours within a day on female participation.We post identical job advertise- ments that differ only in flexibility and the fee offered.Comparing ap plication numbers across these jobswe find that though both men and women prefer flexibility,the elasticity ofresponse for women is twice as large as men.Flexible jobs lead to a 24 percent rise in number of female applications and a 12 percent rise for menWomen are also less willing to give up flexibility for a higher wage.Our findings has important implications in explaining gender differences in labour market outcomes and for firms interested in attracting more women employees.
