The integration of digital technology into various facets of daily life is exemplified by the transformative impact of the sharing economy on work arrangements. A concept that may sometimes be misunderstood, the sharing economy refers to a decentralized system of peer-to-peer exchanges or rentals facilitated by digital intermediaries. While often associated with ride-sharing giants like Uber, a wide array of goods and services can be offered through similar platforms, encompassing meal delivery, online shopping, personal assistance, contingent workforce, and Internet-based scheduling. Inextricably linked to the sharing economy is the growth of gig and freelance work. While these short-term or one-time work arrangements have existed in the past, the emergence of sharing economy platforms has facilitated a broader pool of individuals to engage in gig or freelance work. These platforms offer unprecedented access to services and workers, enabling a more diverse and inclusive workforce.
