The most notable pros of working in the gig economy are:
Flexible working hours
The ability to earn extra money on an as-needed basis
No fixed salary (the more you work, the more you earn)
Be your own boss and set your hourly rate (in freelance roles)
The cons of working in the gig economy include:
Less social protection and job security in case of sickness or accidents
No perks e.g. health insurance, dental insurance, or pension provisions
No fixed salary (if you don’t work, you don’t earn)
Potentially poor work-life balance
