Abstract :
- The gig economy is a rapidly evolving sector
that is transforming the labour market in India. This
paper examines the growth of the gig economy in India,
its opportunities and challenges, and the policy
implications for the Indian economy. Using data from
multiple sources, including government reports,
academic studies, and industry surveys, we analyze the
size, scope, and dynamics of the gig economy in India, its
impact on the labour market, and the policy challenges
and opportunities presented by the sector.
Methodology:
This paper is based on a review of existing
literature and data on the gig economy in India. We
draw on a range of sources, including government
reports, academic studies, and industry surveys, to
provide an overview of the size, scope, and dynamics of
the gig economy in India.
The growth of the gig economy in India has
generated significant interest from scholars,
policymakers, and industry stakeholders, leading to a
wealth of research and data on the sector. By drawing on
this existing literature and data, we are able to provide a
comprehensive overview of the gig economy in India,
including its size, growth, and impact on the labour
market.
Government reports, such as those from the
Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation,
provide valuable data on the size and scope of the gig
economy in India, as well as its contribution to the
overall economy. Academic studies, meanwhile, offer
insights into the characteristics of gig workers, their
motivations for entering the sector, and the challenges
they face. Industry surveys and reports, including those
from leading gig economy platforms, provide additional
data on the behaviour and preferences of gig workers
and consumers, as well as trends and patterns in the
sector.
By reviewing and synthesizing this existing
literature and data, we are able to provide a nuanced
and detailed analysis of the gig economy in India,
highlighting its opportunities and challenges, as well as
its policy implications for the Indian economy. This
approach allows us to draw on the insights and expertise
of a wide range of stakeholders and perspectives,
ensuring that our analysis is robust, evidence-based, and
reflective of the complex and evolving nature of the gig
economy in India.
