Women in gig economy work less in the evenings.

Women have been systematically disadvantaged in the labour market. This could be explained by a complex association of factors, such as the lower speed of women's professional growth within companies, their under-representation in management positions, and the unequal distribution of caregiving and housework between men and women. The rise of the gig economy-a market system that is based on hiring independent contractors and freelance workers as opposed to creating full-time contracts-has brought researchers and policymakers into a discussion on the effects of online platforms and flexible work arrangements on labour market gender parity.
