Bringing together a diverse, global collective of contributors, the editors showcase how careers can unfold in the gig economy. They investigate a wide variety of occupations from cleaners to performing artists and from courier work to short-term contracts in the IT and design sectors, demonstrating the complexity of gig employment. Authors assess the dynamics of flexibility, unpredictability, meaningfulness and sustainability to present a detailed picture of the advantages and challenges of gig work in a fast-paced and complicated modern world.
