The Pros and Cons of the Gig Economy For Workers
Pros:
- Flexible work. For individuals needing flexibility, such as students and those with young families, health problems and other responsibilities, this can be a great way to work. Without the pressure of a strict routine, you can decide when you work and how much. This creates freedom to take care of dependents, attend school, focus on other responsibilities, and to take care of your own health and well-being.
- Low commitment. If you unsatisfied with the work you are doing or have an uncomfortable relationship with your current company, it can be easy to leave and take up employment elsewhere.
- Remote working. If you’re not interested in office life, the gig economy might be for you as gig workers often have the flexibility to work from home. Or in the case of delivery drivers or similar roles, their work is not traditionally in an office.
