Unmasking the Hidden Dynamics of the Gig Economy

In this episode, we explore the hidden forces that shape the rapidly evolving gig economy, where flexible, on-demand work has become the norm for a growing segment of the workforce. We'll hear from labor economists, platform operators, and gig workers themselves who will shed light on the complex web of regulations, algorithms, and power dynamics that govern this new frontier of employment. Discover how the invisible hand of technology, consumer preferences, and regulatory frameworks is transforming the nature of work, the distribution of risks and rewards, and the social safety net for gig workers.
