Abstract

The chapter delves into the transformative potential of the platform-enabled gig economy, with a focus on the merger between ECareer and EHire, which promises to revolutionize the job market by 2030. It offers a comprehensive typology of gig work, ranging from digitized location-independent tasks to location-bound and interaction-intense knowledge work. The author also highlights the advantages and disadvantages of this gig economy, including the strategic value it creates and the potential risks and abuses of power by profit-oriented platforms. The chapter concludes by discussing likely future developments, such as increased regulation and the promotion of peer-to-peer platforms, to mitigate the negative aspects of the gig economy.
