Introduction to the Gig Economy

  • Learning Outcomes

Welcome to the Course
This will be a video. Reading the following... The GIG Economy There has always been some form of gig economy throughout human existence. When the very first ‘work’ started, the early hunter gatherer would do different tasks in order to feed themselves and their families. One season picking berries and fruit and another hunting high protein yield prey alongside a group of others with whom they collaborated. As they learned they added more tasks, food preservation, building dwellings, and making clothes. They were mobile and moved across the earth surface seeking out the resources needed for their survival and growth. Whilst there may have been no money changing hands time certainly was exchanged for the safety, comfort and security that their endeavours could secure. Over time the agricultural revolution reduced the need for hunter gather lifestyles and the industrial revolution almost wiped the practice from human behaviour entirely. But, not entirely. Individuals with highly specialised skills still moved through the economy seeking and connecting to those who needed their skills for short periods or once off tasks. Some cultural groups have always continued the practice of migratory labour, moving and selling their services and labour and goods they made to the communities that they passed through as the seasons changed. The change in attitude of the corporate world in the 1980s when it was announced that the purpose of the corporation was to benefit its shareholders at any cost has seen the rise of gig workers as they are forced to seek comfort and security by means other than the thankless labour of the corporate workforce. The modern gig economy is characterized by a workforce that is made up of independent contractors, freelancers, and self-employed individuals who provide goods and services on a project-by-project basis and are paid for their efforts. As individual skills rise over time many find that their remuneration and working conditions do not change, and they begin to take up work on a contract basis using the skills for which they have developed world class skills. They get paid more, have more control over their own lifestyles, location of work and can very often even choose to live in a country where the costs of living are far lower than the economy in which they do the majority of their work. The origins of the gig economy can be traced back to the early 2000s, when advances in technology made it easier for individuals to connect with potential clients and customers online. The rise of platforms like Fiver and Upwork has made it possible for gig workers to find work in a range of industries, from transportation and hospitality to design and marketing. Of course such small-gig platforms are not the only way such workers can collect clients as they have the vast power of social media and the internet with which to communicate their value proposition to the world. As the gig economy has grown, it has become clear that workers in this new economy require a different set of skills and attitudes than those in traditional employment models. In order to succeed in the gig economy, workers must be flexible, adaptable, and willing to take on new challenges and opportunities. They should be willing and able to monetise all aspects of their knowledge and skills which adds a new dimension to the usual singular value proposition of the common entrepreneur, if there ever was such a being. This means that workers must be prepared to learn, unlearn, and relearn as they navigate the changing landscape of the gig economy. They must be able to embrace new technologies, adopt new ways of working, and be willing to take risks in order to succeed. At the same time, the gig economy presents significant opportunities for entrepreneurial-minded individuals who are willing to take on these challenges. Gig entrepreneurs have the freedom to work on their own terms, pursue their passions, and develop multiple income streams by leveraging a range of skills and talents. However, the gig economy may leave out those who are unwilling or unable to adapt to these new models of work. As Alvin Toffler famously said, "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." In order to succeed in the gig economy, workers must be willing to continuously learn and evolve, and must be able to embrace new technologies and ways of working. The gig economy represents a significant shift in the way that we work and earn a living. While it presents many opportunities for entrepreneurial-minded individuals, it also requires a different set of skills and attitudes than those required in traditional employment models. Workers who are willing to learn, unlearn, and relearn will be well-positioned to succeed in this new economy, while those who are unwilling to adapt may be left behind. Welcome to the world of the gig economy! In this chapter, we'll explore what the gig economy is, how it developed, and what the future holds for those who choose to work in it. First off, what exactly is the gig economy? It's a term used to describe a growing trend of people working multiple short-term, freelance, or contract jobs instead of holding a traditional 9-to-5 job. The term "gig" refers to these short-term jobs, often obtained through online platforms like Uber, Airbnb, or Fiverr. The gig economy has been around for a while, but it really started to take off in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Many people who lost their jobs or struggled to find full-time work turned to gig work as a way to make ends meet. Technology also played a major role in the development of the gig economy, with the rise of online platforms making it easier for people to connect with work opportunities. Today, the gig economy is a thriving ecosystem of workers and companies. It's estimated that around 36% of the US workforce is now engaged in gig work in some form, with similar trends being observed in other countries. People from all walks of life are turning to gig work as a way to supplement their income, gain flexibility, or pursue their passions. One of the biggest advantages of the gig economy is the flexibility it offers. Unlike traditional jobs that require you to work set hours or be in a specific location, gig work can be done on your own schedule and from anywhere with an internet connection. That’s the general way of doing all things Gig but note that I have worked gigs without the internet as a requirement. This can all be a huge benefit for people who have family obligations, health issues, or other commitments that make it difficult to hold down a traditional job. But the gig economy also has its challenges. One of the biggest is the lack of job security. Gig workers don't have the same protections as traditional employees, and many are classified as independent contractors, which means they don't receive benefits like healthcare or paid time off. There's also the issue of income volatility, with gig workers often experiencing fluctuations in their earnings due to factors like seasonal demand or competition from other workers. Despite these challenges, many people believe that the gig economy is here to stay. In fact, some predict that it will become the dominant form of work in the future. As technology continues to advance and more companies adopt gig work models, we're likely to see even more opportunities for gig workers to thrive. So if you're considering working in the gig economy, what should you know? First, it's important to understand that gig work requires a different mind-set than traditional work. You'll need to be self-motivated, adaptable, and willing to take on new challenges. You'll also need to be comfortable with uncertainty and be able to manage your own finances effectively. Second, it's important to do your research and choose the right platforms and clients to work with. Not all gigs are created equal, and some platforms may not offer the level of support or pay that you need to be successful. Take the time to read reviews, network with other gig workers, and be selective about the opportunities you pursue. Finally, don't be afraid to invest in your own skills and education. The gig economy rewards those who are able to offer specialized skills and expertise, so consider taking courses, attending conferences, or seeking out mentors who can help you develop your skills and stay ahead of the curve. In conclusion, the gig economy offers both opportunities and challenges for those who choose to work in it. With the right mind-set, research, and skills, it's possible to thrive as a gig worker and enjoy the benefits of flexibility, autonomy, and control over your own career.
