Technology Driving the Future of Gig Economy

The gig economy gradually began to rise after the world was greatly hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. Unemployed professionals turned to freelance work arrangements or short-term employment contracts to combat their challenging days amidst the prolonged Covid-19 crisis. The flexibility and freedom to choose have made the gig economy attractive regardless of age and background. The gig economy, also known as the “sharing economy” or “collaborative economy” ranges from e-hailing, logistics, food, transportation, retail, creative services and many more. With the new norms in business activities accelerated by technology advancement, the Malaysian government had also supported the industry with several initiatives to grow the market through the 12th Malaysian Plan 2021-2025 and Malaysian Budget 2022. It is projected that the gig economy will be common and at par with traditional work in the future, hence, most likely to stay given its advantages. This trend is not only seen in Malaysia, but also across the globe.

Programme Objective

This programme will provide insights into the current and future landscape of the gig economy driven by technological advancement in shaping its future direction and development. This programme will also delve into how the Great Resignation had contributed to the gig economy’s robust growth.
