AGE DISCRIMINATION IN THE ON-DEMAND ECONOMY AND CROWDWORK
Open accessAbstract
(Excerpt) The dominant narrative about the on-demand or gig economy focuses on the plight of Millennials, the generation born between 1982 and 2004. Reporters, bloggers, and commentators have largely confined their account of gig platforms to what the on-demand economy means for Millennials who are just beginning their careers. Media sources have spotlighted the hardships facing young, tech-savvy workers who are forced to cobble together a living through a combination of part-time work, entrepreneurial activities, and insecure gigs online. These sources note that these Millennials are barely scraping by and often lack job security or benefits. When discussing the problems of on-demand work, such as lack of stability and minimum wages, the author has routinely received the comment that on-demand work is solely a problem for young, entry-level Millennial workers.

Gig work gives older workers more opportunities to return to the job market.
“Gig work gives older workers more opportunities to be back to the job market (Berde & T} okés, 2020;Cherry, 2019), but at the same time older gig workers could suffer from age discrimination (e.g., Carlstedt et al., 2018).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
