Problem
Ever wonder if workers are being honest with you when they answer a survey? Or, if you specify that your study should be taken only by Women, whether some workers take the study even though they are not women?

The New New Demographics on Mechanical Turk: Is there Still a Gender Gap?

Overview
In this blog, we report on the demographics of Mechanical Turk workers by reviewing 75 studies conducted with US-based Workers in 2013 and 2014. From a total of 32,595 Workers, we found 15,324 were female (47%).
Background
It’s been a while since the last update on the demographics of Mechanical Turk Workers, so we thought it’s time for a new look. The current consensus seems to be that MTurk Workers are primarily female. For example, Panos Ipeirotis' blog reports that US-based Workers are 65% female. MTurk is always changing, though, so this report presents data from 75 studies conducted over the last two years.
