ZIPPERER, Ben et al. National survey of gig workers paints a picture of poor working conditions, low pay.Traducido porAlejandra S. Ortiz García. El trimestre econ [online]. 2022, vol.89, n.356, pp.1199-1214.  Epub 30-Ene-2023. ISSN 2448-718X.  https://doi.org/10.20430/ete.v89i356.1668.

The document analyzes the implications of gig work, that is, self-employment, and independent contractors-particularly those registered on digital platforms such as Uber-, for social security, fair wages, and job stability of workers. It is based on a survey conducted by The Shift Project and is contrasted with the results for workers with contracts and working relationships with traditional employers, the W-2. In the end, public policy proposals are made to improve the working conditions of gig workers.
