Open accessAbstract
Introduction: the austerity of domestic labour platformsHow to do more with less?This is, essentially, austerity's onerous question.Its default answer, in turn, has been to defer, download and outsource the burden of being overtasked and cash strapped.As Peck (2012, p 632) notes, 'austerity is ultimately concerned with offloading costs, displacing responsibility; it is about making others pay the price of fiscal retrenchment' (emphasis in original).These 'others' are, frequently, marginalized communities of colour and the low-income urban neighbourhoods they inhabit.Cities, to quote Peck again, are 'where austerity bites' as it 'operates on, and targets anew, an already neoliberalized institutional landscape', but does so in a highly uneven manner (Peck, 2012, pp 629, 631).What Marxist-feminist scholars have referred to as the 'crisis of ught to you by Uva Universiteitsbibliotheek Sz

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.
