Webinar: Platform Work and the Care Economy
Wednesday, January 18th at 2:00 PM ET
On the average day, 36% of working-age Americans provide unpaid care for children, parents and other loved ones. This unpaid labor is worth $980 billion per year, according to a recent PPI report.
This webinar with Dr. Michael Mandel and joined by Cora Mandapat, a Lyft Driver and Caregiver, will discuss how the stress of this immense burden can be eased by the availability of flexible platform work, including companies such as Lyft, Uber, Doordash, and Instacart. Platform work provides an alternative that offers better scheduling and earning opportunities for unpaid caregivers. We’ll also discuss the possibility that platform work may help narrow the longstanding gender gap in unpaid caregiving.
