GIG ECONOMY
The gig economy is not yet as widespread as media coverage suggests with only 43 percent of APAC workers agreeing jobseekers are pursuing more flexible, contract-based roles over traditional, permanent full-time positions, according to our latest research. Initially the gig economy was associated with app-based platforms that schedule work in individual gigs such as driving passengers, making deliveries or cleaning homes. The definition now extends to include other employment styles that provide flexibility and agility such as short-term, contract roles. This allows candidates to act as free agents with greater control over their work situation.
To explore this and other workforce trends, Kelly commissioned Insync to conduct a large-scale exploration of attitudes towards the changing world of work in Asia Pacific as part of PERSOLKELLY’s APAC Workforce Insights survey. Download the report for your insight.
