      In both the Global North and the Global South, women reported more frequently than men that they crowdworked because they preferred to, or could only, work from home. In particular, the response 'can only work from home' had a ten percentage-point difference between women and men in the Global South (17 per cent for women versus 7 per cent for men) and an eight percentage-point difference in the Global North (13 percent for women versus 5 per cent for men).
