Discussions about the Future of Work have become ubiquitous both in academic and international organizations’ discourse. As part of these developments, the platform economy has revolutionized work practices and relationships. Despite the emergence of a burgeoning literature on platform studies, little is known about whether and to what extent platform work exacerbates the risk of gender-based violence among workers. This review article examines 39 academic articles, book chapters, reports, and conference papers published between 2016 and 2023 using qualitative content analysis to provide a preliminary understanding of empirical data on this issue. The reviewed studies were selected using relevant keywords on the basis of a database of 175 studies examining the platform economy with gender perspective, complemented with additional sources identified during the review. The main findings are: platform workers across sectors are vulnerable to gender-based violence, especially those at the intersection of several axes of subordination; platforms’ socio-technological features exacerbate the risk of gender-based violence; (fear of) gender-based violence limits women’s access to platform work and the economic benefits derived from it; most platforms lack effective preventative and redressal mechanisms against violence; and, faced with platforms’ inaction, workers adopt individual and collective measures to address (the risk of) gender-based violence in platform work. The analysis also evidences the need for more research on intersectional vulnerabilities, particularly with regard to sexual orientation and gender expression and identity, as well as on the physical and psychological impact of gender-based violence on platform workers, which provides avenues for future research.

未来工作背景下的性别暴力：文献定性回顾


关于“未来工作”的讨论在学术界和国际组织的讨论中无处不在。作为这些发展的一部分，平台经济已经彻底改变了工作实践和关系。尽管出现了大量关于平台研究的文献，但对于平台工作是否以及在多大程度上加剧了工人中基于性别的暴力风险，人们知之甚少。这篇评论文章研究了 39 年至 2016 年间发表的 2023 篇学术文章、书籍章节、报告和会议论文，使用定性内容分析对有关此问题的经验数据提供初步了解。根据包含 175 项研究的数据库，从性别角度研究平台经济，并辅以综述期间确定的其他来源，使用相关关键词选择综述研究。主要发现是：各部门的平台工作者都容易受到基于性别的暴力的影响，尤其是那些处于几个从属轴交叉点的人;平台的社会技术特征加剧了基于性别的暴力风险;（对）基于性别的暴力的恐惧限制了妇女获得平台工作的机会以及由此产生的经济利益;大多数平台缺乏针对暴力的有效预防和补救机制;而且，面对平台的不作为，工人采取个人和集体措施来解决平台工作中基于性别的暴力（风险）。该分析还证明，需要对交叉脆弱性进行更多研究，特别是在性取向、性别表达和身份方面，以及基于性别的暴力对平台工作者的身心影响，这为未来的研究提供了途径。
