A chapter in Managing Work in the Digital Economy, 2021, pp 81-98 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter explains the origins and development of the so-called gig economy and it provides a typology for the platform-enabled gig economy, including all types of gig work reaching from location-independent microtasking towards location-bound and interaction-intensive knowledge work. In addition, the importance of the platform-enabled gig economy for households as well as for the labor market and the various industrial sectors is examined. Both the positive aspects and opportunities associated with the platform-enabled gig economy and its disadvantages and risks are presented in the form of short propositions. Finally, an outlook is ventured on the probable further development of the platform-enabled gig economy up to the year 2030.
