In the current economy, the transition from regular employment to gig work has gained substantial traction. This study examines the variables that have led to the growth of gig work, with a particular emphasis on how labour markets are evolving and technology developments. Gig work, characterized by short-term, flexible, and task-based employment, contrasts sharply with the long-term, stable employment typical of traditional labour. The paper examines the benefits and challenges associated with gig work for both workers and employers, including the appeal of flexibility, autonomy, and income potential for workers, as well as cost-efficiency for employers. However, the gig economy also presents issues related to job security, income instability, and the lack of social protections that are commonly available in traditional employment. This study offers an overview of the socio-economic implications of this transition, highlighting the need for regulatory frameworks that balance flexibility with fair labour practices in the evolving employment landscape.
