Opinion: Secure future of gig workers

Image
Opinion: Secure future of gig workers Quick summary: 1. The government of India should establish clear regulations and policies for the gig economy to ensure the safety of gig workers and hold companies accountable. 2. According to research by Flourish Ventures, before the pandemic, most gig economy workers earned above Rs 25,000, while after the pandemic, nine out of ten workers were earning less than Rs 15,000. 3. It is estimated that the gig economy will further expand in India in the future and hence it should be supported by government rules and policies to protect the rights of workers and ensure fair treatment towards them #biyro #music #musicphotography #instagood #song More: https://biyro.com/blog/freelance/opinion-secure-future-of-gig-workers/

Decoding The Rise Of The White-Collar Gig Economy In India Recent highlights: 1. In India, Gigvistas, Gig India, and Flexiple, among others, offer short-term assignments or gigs in similar domains such as tech, marketing, and finance, while other platforms such as BuyHive are dedicated to independent sourcing and procurement professionals. 2.

In the case of TNVS delivery drivers and delivery riders, the set-up is referred to as an O2O model or an Online to Offline model where transactions are initiated online but actual fulfillment is done offline #biyro #losangeles #originalmusic #love #band More: https://biyro.com/blog/freelance/taking-care-of-our-gig-workers/
