What is ‘a job’? Pt 2: Lessons from the data
March 4, 2024 - 1 min read
We explained how we chose to ‘count jobs’ based on:
* Inclusion criteria: the minimum standards for a platform to consider a job as ‘created’ or ‘improved’.
* Exclusion criteria: While the above helps us to define what is ‘in’, we also need to consider what is ‘out’. We ringfence which jobs we believe we have contributed to.
* Hidden hierarchies: In some cases, there may be hidden jobs created beyond platform data e.g. one carpentry workshop is listed on a platform, but 10 individuals could be working in that shop.
