The Microwork Revolution

A session at Where 2012

What if recent high school and university graduates in rural Kenya were able to work for Fortune 500 companies here in the U.S.? The internet is changing the face of the global workforce. For the first time in human history, we can tap the brainpower at the bottom of the economic pyramid and access a motivated, trained workforce in poor communities around the world.

Samasource connects thousands of trained women and youth to full-time digital work opportunities, giving them the opportunity influence entire industries, from data mining, to groundtruth projects to image tagging. Learn how our model is changing businesses and lives around the world.
