The Gig Economy

The Gig Economy

With regular employment opportunities shrinking both in the Government and the private sector, the jobs on offer are of a different kind ~ drivers for Ola and Uber, delivery boys for Swiggy and Zomato and repairmen for Urban Clap. The term ‘gig‘ has been coined for such jobs, that is, for jobs for which workers are paid for each individual gig (piece of work) they do ~such as food delivery or a car journey ~instead of monthly salary/days wage/hourly wage.
