Abstract
This survey focuses on unpaid work of platform workers. It aims to identify the incidence and intensity of unpaid activities as part of platform work and as part of household work. It also aims to specify the monetary implications of these unpaid activities. Research objectives are two fold. Do platform workers experience a wage penalty when performing a given volume of unpaid activities as part of the platform work? Do platform workers experience a wage penalty when performing a given volume of unpaid housework activities? The survey measures in detail the unpaid platform and household activities of platform workers, as well as their wages earned. It also includes survey questions aiming at measuring a few mediating variables. The survey is part of the project 'Unpaid Work in the Platform Economy' of the ResPecTMe Project of the KU Leuven, see
