The gig economy refers to short-term, flexible work arrangements that differ from traditional "9-to-5" employment, utilizing internet and mobile technologies to rapidly match supply and demand. It represents both an important component of the sharing economy and a novel allocation model for human resources. This economic sector primarily consists of freelancers undertaking fragmented tasks, facilitated through two main forms: crowd-based work and app-mediated on-demand labor.
This emerging economic model is gaining global momentum. According to data released by China's Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security in 2021, approximately 200 million workers in China are engaged in flexible employment arrangements.
