&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The bargain between companies and their &amp;#39;employees&amp;#39; must become more equitable.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The continuation of the Russia-Ukraine war is raising the fear of an imminent stagflation (a combination of inflation and unemployment led by a low growth). Worldwide inflation numbers are on the rise. Most sources of data are suggesting a higher inflationary regime. In March 2022, the US, the largest economy in the world, recorded a 41-year high inflation of 8.1%. Inflation numbers for India are no different. The present day Consumer Price Index (CPI) is inching towards the 7% mark. With economic growth slowing, and the war and pandemics causing supply-side glitch, the fear of unemployment will also increase. Although organised sector employment is taking a hit the world is noticing a paradigm shift from 9-5 jobs to a newfound type of jobs which is created by the gig economy. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Take for instance, Kaushik Banik. He is software professional who works from home and is quite happy about it. He earns handsomely, an hourly wage rate of $35. There are millions of persons like Kaushik who cares less about war, pandemics and supply-side glitches. All they require is a computer/mobile handset that will connect them to the outside world. At a time when fewer 9-5 jobs are getting created or disrupted because of war and pandemics, the spread of gig economy is a welcome move.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There are now close to 15 million gig workers in India. Delivery boys, cleaners, consultants, bloggers, etc., are all part of the gig economy. &amp;nbsp;These types of jobs are usually platform enabled. As the work is job-specific, workers using these platforms have the flexibility to work for more than one contractor. A food delivery guy can work for both Swiggy and Zomato, and yet can drive Uber during some other time. &amp;nbsp;Similarly, the aggregators may provide more than one type of service. For example, Uber which is generally known as a taxi service aggregator also has Uber Eats which is a food delivery and online take out service App.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The platform-enabled gig economy can accommodate a large number of buyers and sellers, and there is absence of entry barriers. The gig economy has helped to reduce information asymmetry associated with job search costs. In India, for example, before the advent of the digital world, job seekers regularly waited in line ‒ sometimes all day ‒ to register at the national employment exchanges for their job search.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Managers are also happy to recruit in a gig economy. As gig economy usually operates on the basis of &amp;lsquo;standardized&amp;rsquo; outcomes. As the job performed is outcome-based, the risks associated with moral hazard or asymmetric information are mitigated. The rating systems on platforms for task-based services also ensure that only the most standardized and efficient suppliers get rewarded in the long-run.&lt;/p&gt;

The present day Consumer Price Index (CPI) is inching towards the 7% mark. With economic growth slowing, and the war and pandemics causing supply-side glitch, the fear of unemployment will also increase. Although organised sector employment is taking a hit the world is noticing a paradigm shift from 9-5 jobs to a newfound type of jobs which is created by the gig economy. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Take for instance, Kaushik Banik. He is software professional who works from home and is quite happy about it. He earns handsomely, an hourly wage rate of $35. There are millions of persons like Kaushik who cares less about war, pandemics and supply-side glitches. All they require is a computer/mobile handset that will connect them to the outside world. At a time when fewer 9-5 jobs are getting created or disrupted because of war and pandemics, the spread of gig economy is a welcome move.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There are now close to 15 million gig workers in India. Delivery boys, cleaners, consultants, bloggers, etc., are all part of the gig economy. &amp;nbsp;These types of jobs are usually platform enabled. As the work is job-specific, workers using these platforms have the flexibility to work for more than one contractor. A food delivery guy can work for both Swiggy and Zomato, and yet can drive Uber during some other time. &amp;nbsp;Similarly, the aggregators may provide more than one type of service. For example, Uber which is generally known as a taxi service aggregator also has Uber Eats which is a food delivery and online take out service App.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The platform-enabled gig economy can accommodate a large number of buyers and sellers, and there is absence of entry barriers. The gig economy has helped to reduce information asymmetry associated with job search costs. In India, for example, before the advent of the digital world, job seekers regularly waited in line ‒ sometimes all day ‒ to register at the national employment exchanges for their job search.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Managers are also happy to recruit in a gig economy. As gig economy usually operates on the basis of &amp;lsquo;standardized&amp;rsquo; outcomes. As the job performed is outcome-based, the risks associated with moral hazard or asymmetric information are mitigated. The rating systems on platforms for task-based services also ensure that only the most standardized and efficient suppliers get rewarded in the long-run.&lt;/p&gt;

At a time when fewer 9-5 jobs are getting created or disrupted because of war and pandemics, the spread of gig economy is a welcome move.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There are now close to 15 million gig workers in India. Delivery boys, cleaners, consultants, bloggers, etc., are all part of the gig economy. &amp;nbsp;These types of jobs are usually platform enabled. As the work is job-specific, workers using these platforms have the flexibility to work for more than one contractor. A food delivery guy can work for both Swiggy and Zomato, and yet can drive Uber during some other time. &amp;nbsp;Similarly, the aggregators may provide more than one type of service. For example, Uber which is generally known as a taxi service aggregator also has Uber Eats which is a food delivery and online take out service App.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The platform-enabled gig economy can accommodate a large number of buyers and sellers, and there is absence of entry barriers. The gig economy has helped to reduce information asymmetry associated with job search costs. In India, for example, before the advent of the digital world, job seekers regularly waited in line ‒ sometimes all day ‒ to register at the national employment exchanges for their job search.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Managers are also happy to recruit in a gig economy. As gig economy usually operates on the basis of &amp;lsquo;standardized&amp;rsquo; outcomes. As the job performed is outcome-based, the risks associated with moral hazard or asymmetric information are mitigated. The rating systems on platforms for task-based services also ensure that only the most standardized and efficient suppliers get rewarded in the long-run.&lt;/p&gt;

<p style="text-align:justify">The continuation of the Russia-Ukraine war is raising the fear of an imminent stagflation (a combination of inflation and unemployment led by a low growth). Worldwide inflation numbers are on the rise. Most sources of data are suggesting a higher inflationary regime. In March 2022, the US, the largest economy in the world, recorded a 41-year high inflation of 8.1%. Inflation numbers for India are no different. The present day Consumer Price Index (CPI) is inching towards the 7% mark. With economic growth slowing, and the war and pandemics causing supply-side glitch, the fear of unemployment will also increase. Although organised sector employment is taking a hit the world is noticing a paradigm shift from 9-5 jobs to a newfound type of jobs which is created by the gig economy. &nbsp;</p>
