Гіг-економіка: свобода чи ризик?

In almost every large city, you can now see delivery riders with large square backpacks hurrying between restaurants and apartment buildings. They are part of the so-called gig economy, in which people are paid for individual tasks rather than receiving a regular salary. The same model is used by freelance designers, translators and drivers who find their clients through online platforms. For many workers, the biggest attraction is flexibility: they can choose when, where and how much they work. Students can work between lectures, and parents can work a few hours while their children are at school. Some newcomers to a country also see these apps as a quick way to start earning before they find something better. However, this freedom often comes at a price. Gig workers are usually treated as self-employed, so they rarely receive sick pay, paid holidays or pension contributions from the platform. Their income can change dramatically from week to week, depending on demand, the weather and the app’s algorithm. In several European countries, courts and governments have started to ask whether some of these workers should legally be considered employees. Personally, I think the challenge is to protect workers without destroying the flexibility that attracted them in the first place.
