Abstract
The gig economy is a marketplace where individuals take temporary/contingent jobs at organisations or work as freelancers. It is a booming sector but has remained an unregulated space on a larger scale. Given the nature of their role, they do not maintain a stable relationship with their clients and management and are always open to risk. With the rise of internet users and city growth via investment and urbanisation, Gig workers and their services have become a crucial part of our rapid lives. With the amount of effort, risks, and complexities the Gig workers face in their day-to-day operations, their plight must be considered. In this study, we are focused on understanding and highlighting the challenges of Gig workers. We are trying to work towards addressing an enduring version of the Gig economy, which can help its participant maintain a primary source of income from their gigs. It requires the digital infrastructure, standardized policies, legislations, and corporate work structure to be improved to create space and viability for this growing sector. The research will collect data on real-time Gig workers by understanding their experiences, challenges, social-security requirements, and technological assistance in operations. It is necessary to build on the available secondary data by identifying the areas for improvement in this sector. The study is looking for a scope for improvement in the current framework to result in an environment where the gig economy can thrive and become a perennial source of employment.
