论文摘要
来自各个行业的工人在Covid-19大流行病开始时迅速转向远程工作。尽管现有工作已经检查了这一转变对办公室工作人员的影响，但很少有工作研究如何从面对面到在线工作的非正式劳动力工人的转变。我们研究了从面对面转移到仅在线工作的影响，对一个特别边缘化的工人组：性工作者。通过对来自全球北部七个国家的性工作者进行的34次定性访谈，我们研究了向仅在线性工作的转变如何影响：（1）工作条件，（2）风险和保护行为，以及（3）劳动力奖励。我们发现在线工作为性工作者的财务和身体健康带来了好处。但是，仅在线工作引入了新的，更大的数字和心理健康风险，这是由于需要在更多平台上公开可见并共享更多明确的内容。根据我们的发现，我们提出了针对数字性工作者和非正式工人的设计和平台治理建议，尤其是那些创建和销售数字内容的人。
Workers from a variety of industries rapidly shifted to remote work at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. While existing work has examined the impact of this shift on office workers, little work has examined how shifting from in-person to online work affected workers in the informal labor sector. We examine the impact of shifting from in-person to online-only work on a particularly marginalized group of workers: sex workers. Through 34 qualitative interviews with sex workers from seven countries in the Global North, we examine how a shift to online-only sex work impacted: (1) working conditions, (2) risks and protective behaviors, and (3) labor rewards. We find that online work offers benefits to sex workers' financial and physical well-being. However, online-only work introduces new and greater digital and mental health risks as a result of the need to be publicly visible on more platforms and to share more explicit content. From our findings we propose design and platform governance suggestions for digital sex workers and for informal workers more broadly, particularly those who create and sell digital content.
