Freelancing and Gig Economy

Freelancing involves self-employment, offering services to multiple clients, and allows for project choice, rate setting, and flexible hours. The gig economy consists of temporary, flexible jobs, with workers paid per ‘gig’, often as independent contractors without traditional employee rights or benefits. Both offer flexibility and independence but can involve challenges like income instability and lack of benefits. They represent a shift towards more flexible work arrangements in the modern economy.
