It has been reported that most of us won't live to see gender
equality achieved worldwide; a new study predicts this milestone is
almost 100 years away. Furthermore, when looking at jobs and pay
specifically, only 55% of adult women are in the labor force, as
compared to about 78% of adult men. And globally, women's wages are
about 58% of men's wages for similar work. However, based on
platform-specific statistics, this is not the case on Fiverr.
“All over the world women are creating, designing, and
innovating to fulfill their potential and achieve their goals,
while at the same time, challenging current stereotypes and the
status quo,” said Gali Arnon, Fiverr’s Chief Marketing Officer.
“Women deserve to be given the same opportunities as men and paid
equally for them. We’re incredibly proud of the fact that Fiverr
offers women the opportunity to be paid equally to men. This store
has been built to celebrate these talented women and all of their
hard work, especially those in fields such as engineering and
development where women are traditionally underrepresented.”
On platforms and marketplaces, more often than not, people are
evaluated on their experience, their portfolio, reviews from past
clients, and ultimately the quality of their work. To that end,
Fiverr is releasing platform-specific gender pay gap information
based on a significant sample of data, showing that women on its
platform are out-earning men in more ways than one. Specific
statistics include:
- Globally, women are making more than men on Fiverr. The average
earnings for women are 19% higher than the average earnings for
men. They are also earning roughly 3% more on a per-project basis
than men.
- Female freelancers are also receiving more work than men,
leading to these higher earnings. In December of 2019, they
benefited from 5% more projects from customers than men. And in
June of the same year, they received 10% more projects from
customers than men.
- And the money they are making per month is only going up. From
January 2019 to December 2019, their earnings per month increased
by 18%.
“As an LGBTQ minority female with an MBA in Project Management,
I was often overlooked for promotions and upper management roles
and, at times, I felt the need to dumb myself down in order to be
heard,” said Jennifer Shealey, a social media marketing consultant
on Fiverr. "Fiverr has provided me with a sense of confidence and
opportunity that I never thought I’d obtain. None of my clients
judge me for who I am as a person, they're simply looking at the
successful work that I’ve produced. I'm able to charge what I want
for the completion of projects, work from wherever I want, and best
of all, it has given me a sense of financial and emotional security
that I've never felt before."
