Gig work has proven to be a great alternative to the traditional 9-to-5 job, but women are not entirely convinced of the viability of this as a career. At least not yet.

But the gap between the two demographics isn’t due to a lack of interest from women, according to new data from employee staffing platform Jitjatjo, but from a lack of employee benefits. Thirty-nine percent of women considered that a significant deterrent when looking at gig work as a career option.
