Freelance
For more than a decade, we have been celebrating the gigeconomy – the trend towards flexible, temporary or freelance jobs championed by the likes of Taskrabbit, Uber and AirBnB. For some, freelancing has been a positive choice, to supplement their income or have more control over their work tasks and schedules. For others, it has been a desperate survival tactic, after being made redundant or facing other financial hardship. Now, as the global economy stalls once again, we see the vulnerability of gig workers, who have no sick leave or other social security benefits. The freelance economy needs rethinking.
