There are opportunities that would help them financially and help the growth of the gig economy, as well as challenges faced during the work. This paper also measures the effectiveness of gig working by taking data from 110 responses and analysing it with a statistical tool (Pearson r or correlation), and ends with a conclusion from the analysis and recommendations to improve the effectiveness and reduce the challenges.
