Description & Coverage
Description:

Gig economy has rapidly transformed the global business landscape, offering flexible work opportunities and creating innovations across industries. As companies increasingly rely on freelance and contract-based labor, questions arise regarding sustainability and the adaptability of this economic model. Exploring the long-term viability of gig economies and examining how businesses and workers can adapt to evolving market conditions, technological advancements, and policy frameworks may ensure a balanced, sustainable future.

Sustainability and Adaptability of Gig Economies in Global Business explores aspects of the labor market and concerns of short-term jobs on digital platforms. It examines how gig economies can provide opportunities for underserved communities and encourage digital literacy training for gig workers and the development of small startup companies, micro-entrepreneurship and small and medium entrepreneurs (SMEs). This book covers topics such as economy, sustainable development, and global business, and is a useful resource for academicians, economists, sociologists, business owners, policymakers, and researchers.
