Gig-økonomi, or the gig economy, refers to a labor market characterized by the prevalence of short-term, flexible jobs instead of permanent employment. In this system, individuals often work as independent contractors or freelancers, taking on “gigs” or tasks that are typically facilitated through digital platforms or apps. This model allows for more autonomy and variety in work, enabling people to choose when and how much they work.
The gig economy comprises diverse roles, including rideshare drivers, delivery personnel, freelance writers, graphic designers, and other service providers.
