The conclusion reads, "Women are less likely to participate in the sharing economy because they typically have fewer resources and assets than men do. Since female Uber drivers start out from a weaker financial position than their male counterparts, it is not surprising that they tend to (at least initially) receive a greater boost to their earnings (11 percent in Mexico to 29 percent in Egypt) than men do (IFC, 2018). The opportunities and risks of joining the sharing economy may accrue more heavily to women because they have more to gain from participating, but also more to lose if they are excluded from new forms of work, income, or assets." The threat of violence is mentioned earlier in the article.
