The document discusses the gig economy and its characteristics. It defines the gig economy as online platforms that connect workers and customers for specific tasks, with payment intermediated by the platforms. The gig economy provides benefits like flexibility but also drawbacks like lack of protections. While it empowers some groups, there is an imbalance in distributing its benefits, with workers being more vulnerable. Both incumbents and regulations need to adapt to the changes brought by the new digital economy.
Here are my slides from a revision webinar on the economics of the Gig Economy. The labour market changes all the time but in the last decade we have seen a fast-evolving landscape of many more people being engaged in gig work and many on short term or zero hours contracts. Who are the winners and losers from the new world of work? Does the expansion of the Gig Economy improve the UK’s macroeconomic performance?
Everything you have to know about Gig economy and Gig workers is right here. The reason why gig economy is trending among the youth, it's benefits and all explained along with some real time gig works available in India. Hope you find it helpful.
The Future Workforce: The Gig Economy and the Challenges of a Contingent Work...EPAY Systems
Almost 40 million Americans work on a part-time or freelance basis and by 2020 half of the American workforce is expected to be part of this gig economy. This new workforce is full of challenges and benefits for both employers and employees. For employers looking to engage this new workforce there is a lot of legal compliance issues to consider, and for employees looking for freedom they look to be free of benefits as well.
GIG economy - Human Resource management - Manu Melwin Joymanumelwin
A gig economy is an environment in which temporary positions are common and organizations contract with independent workers for short-term engagements.
A gig economy is a work environment ( borderless and technology enabled) where organizations /businesses hire temporary workers or freelancers instead of full-time long-term employees. In the consulting/knowledge working context, the gig economy is often referred to as the open talent economy, a term largely attributed to Deloitte Consulting.
Gig economy is at nascent stage in India and Asia.
Web and ,mobile development, web-designing, internet research and data entry are the key focus areas for Indian freelancers while some of them are also engaged in accounting, graphic design and consulting. The study, conducted with 500 Indian freelancers in their local languages, highlights that most Indian freelancers are under the age of 40 and are predominantly men.
Drivers for Gig Economy and how freelancer platforms such as UpWork, Freelancer, and Toptal allow organisations to scale their workforce, be agile, and access high-quality talent at competitive cost.

The Sharing Economy: Implications for Property & Casualty InsurersCognizant
Collaborative consumption, also known as the "Peer-to-Peer" or "P2P" economy, poses significant risks for insurers. At the same time, consumers' willingness to share and utilize assets and services like Uber and Airbnb offers significant revenue opportunities for P&C carriers at a time when most have experienced flat-line growth.
The presentation describes the business model canvas of UBER as a part of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Module wherein the Problems faced by UBER is mentioned along with the Recommendations which they can follow in order to improve the companies performance.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM IT?
This formula is generating significant benefits for entrepreneurs
from different industries.
Did you know? Uber became the fastest-growing startup in all
history, and today it is already higher valued than Ford or General
Motors.
CONSUMERS
WORKERS
ENTREPRENEURS
The gig economy is democratising the access to many types of
services, making them more affordable and highly efficient.
Workers see the platforms as alternatives to generate income at
convenient and flexible dynamics.
5. DO NOT MIX IT WITH THE SHARING
ECONOMY.
THE GIG ECONOMY AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
▸ Online platforms where work can be
transacted
‣ Examples:
‣ Drivers can connect to Uber to offer rides
‣ People with specific skills can connect to
Fiverr to offer any service in their area of
knowledge
THE GIG ECONOMY VS
▸ Systems that facilitate the sharing of
underused assets
‣ Examples:
‣ Blablacar connects travellers with
drivers with empty seats
‣ Airbnb connects people looking for
accommodation with those with spare
rooms or underused properties
THE SHARING ECONOMY
6. THE GIG ECONOMY AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
BUT THEY DO HAVE THINGS IN COMMON.
✓ TRUST SYSTEMS
Reputation is a fundamental aspect for building relations in a collaborative consumption. In
a recent survey about the sharing economy, 69% of the interviewees said that they would
not believe in sharing economy companies until they were recommended by someone
they trust.
✓ CRITICAL MASS
In order to have that, early adopters have create a critical mass for social proof, enabling
others to overcome psychological barriers related to new behaviours. Also, only with a wide
range of choices consumers will feel satisfied, enabling collaborative consumption to
compete with conventional platforms.
✴ Example: Uber Pool
This specific service from Uber allow passengers to share the rides with others going to the
same direction. It combines the essence of the gig economy (the driver working through
the platform) and the essence of the sharing economy (passengers sharing empty seats).

10. THE GIG ECONOMY AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
THE UPSIDE OF THE GIG ECONOMY
✓ FLEXIBILITY AND FREEDOM
The gig economy allows workers to have their own schedules, work from anywhere
and pick only projects of their interest.
✓ MOBILITY
By spending less time with displacements, people have more time to focus in activities
that really matter, relieving the traffic and polluting less.
✓ GLOBAL PRODUCTIVITY
By putting the right people in the right place, productivity increases along with job
satisfaction.
✓ MINORITIES OVERREPRESENTED
Studies have shown that minorities tend to be overrepresented in the gig economy. In
addition, some issues at work, previously limited by physical barriers, tend to be
solved in the new economy, facilitating the access of those with special needs.
11. THE GIG ECONOMY AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
THE DOWNSIDE OF THE GIG ECONOMY
✓ ALMIGHTY COMPANIES
Workers rely on the platforms for work, but platforms can take extraordinary measures without their
consent.
✓ WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
In the case of negative experiences, companies tend to avoid responsibility alleging that they are simply
intermediators between parties.
✓ LACK OF TRANSPARENCY
The lack of transparency is not only felt by consumers, but also by workers that are not aware of certain
algorithmic decisions.
✓ INCUMBENT´S LACK OF COMPETITIVENESS
In certain industries, specific regulations are necessary, and if the new entrants are not subject to
equivalent regulations, the competition becomes unfair.
✓ INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OR “EMPLOYEES”?
Some workers are working full time through the platforms, but their classification as independent
contractors would be depriving them of protections guaranteed by law, such as the minimum wage.
✓ WAGE DEGRADATION
The gig economy is making services more affordable, but also raising questions about the real cost of that.
13. THE GIG ECONOMY AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
GIG ECONOMY COMPANIES TEND TO FOLLOW
THE SAME PATTERN.
✓ Their main asset
is the SOFTWARE
INTERFACE
✓ They match
CONTINGENT
WORKERS with

a specific service
✓ The platforms

✓ INFORMATION is

14. THE GIG ECONOMY AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
MILLENNIALS ARE DRIVING THE GIG ECONOMY,
BUT THERE IS A SPECIAL POTENTIAL FOR
BOOMERS TOO.
MILLENNIALS BOOMERS
✓ First digital natives
✓ Largest generation of the global
workforce
✓ The most optimistic group about
freelancing
✓ Interested in new projects
✓ Willing to work if they could have
flexible schedules
✓ 54% are far beyond ideal retirement
savings
15. THE GIG ECONOMY AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
THE IDEAS BROUGHT THE PLATFORMS ARE
NOT NECESSARILY NEW, BUT INTERNET
IMPROVED THEIR REACH AND EFFICIENCY.
There have always been people willing to
drive others to the airport in exchange of
a payment, regardless of regulations.
The difference is that internet has put all
of those drivers and passengers together,
and through reviews and rating systems,
created a network of trust, making it
easier to rely on.
IN THE NEW ECONOMY, INFORMAL
SERVICES ARE GETTING ORGANISED.
16. THE GIG ECONOMY AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
THERE IS AN IMBALANCE REGARDING THE
DISTRIBUTION OF ITS BENEFITS.
Deprived from the securities that traditional forms of employment would provide and powerless
towards the rules imposed by the platforms, workers are the most fragile point of this chain.
At the present moment, earnings derived from the platforms represent a relevant supplemental
income for those who already enjoy the benefits of a traditional job, but far from being an ideal
choice for those who are working full time through them.
17. THE GIG ECONOMY AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
SERVICES OFFERED BY THE GIG ECONOMY
ARE LIKELY TO BE DISRUPTIVE.
Those who tried them tend to
consider them:
✓ MORE CONVENIENT
✓ MORE EFFICIENT
✓ WITH BETTER FACILITIES
✓ WITH BETTER PAYMENT METHOD
✓ BETTER GENERAL EXPERIENCE
when compared to traditional
platforms.
In addition, those who never tried
them are likely to try them soon,
and only a few minority reject them
in this first moment.
18. THE GIG ECONOMY AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
DISRUPTION IS A POSITIVE FORCE; AND
INCUMBENTS CANNOT CLOSE THEIR EYES FOR
INNOVATIONS.
They have to keep
innovating to avoid being
surprised by disruptions.
The innovation must be
for:
✓ PRODUCTS
✓ SERVICES
✓ PROCESSES
✓ ORGANIZATIONAL
STRUCTURE
19. THE GIG ECONOMY AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
IT CHANGES THE DYNAMICS OF COMPETITION.
IT EMPOWERS THE SMALL TO
COMPETE WITH THE GIANTS
IT MAKES THE COMPETITION
GLOBAL
What can result in downward
pressure in wages, especially in the
developed countries.
Collaborative economies give
ordinary people the chance to
compete with big chains.

23. THE GIG ECONOMY AND THE FUTURE OF WORK
WHAT TO DEMAND FROM GOVERNMENTS
AND COMPANIES
✓ UPDATED LABOR LAWS
They have to be revised in order to better fit this new world of contingent
workers, guaranteeing fair practices for all parties.
✓ REGULATION OF THE SERVICES
In most of the industries, the services have to be regulated in order to guarantee
a fair level of competitiveness. Governments have the challenge to do that
without discouraging innovation.
✓ BETTER TRANSPARENCY RULES
Companies have to be more transparent and ethical with consumers and
workers.
