The Fairwork Cloudwork Ratings 2023 assesses and scores basic standards of fairness in working arrangements on 15 web-based digital labour platforms according to the five Fairwork principles: fair pay, conditions, contracts, management, and representation.
According to the report, platforms are still far from safeguarding the basic standards of fair work. Three of them (ComeUp, Prolific, and Terawork) scored 5 points out of 10. The other 12 platforms (Appen, SoyFreelancer, Upwork, Clickworker, Elharefa, Fiverr, PeoplePerHour, and Scale/Remotasks) could not prove they met more than three of ten thresholds. For four platforms (Amazon MTurk, Freelancer, Microworkers, and Workana), no evidence was found that they met any threshold.
