Fair Representation
Fairwork evaluates companies’ labour practices in a variety of sectors:
Location-based platform work
Location-based platforms offer services like food delivery, ride-hailing, domestic work, beauty services, house repairs and more. We evaluate the working conditions of these platforms and rank them based on five principles of fair platform work. We have produced national rankings in 38 countries across 5 continents.
Cloudwork
Cloudwork is work that can be performed online from anywhere in the world. This includes small tasks like filling in surveys and training AI systems, to freelance services like translation, web development or design. We rate the working conditions on major cloudwork platforms in line with five principles of fair online work.
Artificial intelligence (AI)
From chatbots to monitoring systems, companies are increasingly rolling out AI systems on their employees. Fairwork has developed a set of principles to guide the fair use of AI systems in the workplace. We use these principles to monitor and evaluate the deployment of AI systems in workplaces across the world.
Sex work
Websites that offer camming, escorting and content delivery (e.g. OnlyFans) are a vital source of income for many. Fairwork is undertaking research on a range of different sex work platforms to better understand the realities of working for these platforms.
