Original abstract

Introduction The gig economy has expanded significantly in urban public spaces; however, the perception of unsafe urban spaces by women and their families restricts their participation in the gig economy. This study aims to identify the safety concerns of female gig workers and the strategies adopted by various stakeholders to address them. Methods An advanced search was performed in online databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, and APA PsycInfo, to identify articles pertaining to the safety of female gig workers for this scoping review. PRISMA approach for scoping review (PRISMA-ScR) was employed to assess the scope of relevant literature and synthesize the prevalent safety concerns and strategies adopted by various stakeholder to mitigate that concern. A narrative and tabular synthesis approach was used to describe the collected data. Results A total of 482 studies were identified and retrieved from the databases. Sixteen studies were eligible for inclusion in this review. Abusive behavior in the workplace, fear of nighttime operations, working on digital platforms, customer anonymity, and lack of client verification were identified as prominent safety concerns. Apart from scant informal strategies, there are no formal structures that address harassment against female gig workers. Conclusion Several barriers pose safety concerns for female gig workers, thereby hampering their participation in the workforce. An altered approach to the existing legal and policy framework will ensure the safety of female gig workers from sexual harassment at the workplace.
