The size and characteristics of informal ("gig") work in Canada / by Olena Kostyshyna and Corinne Luu.: FB3-7/2019-6E-PDF

"Underlying wage growth has fallen short of what would be consistent with an economy operating with little or no slack. While many factors could explain this weakness, the availability of additional labour resources from informal (“gig”) work—not fully captured in standard measures of employment and hours worked—may play a role. We investigate this possibility through the Bank of Canada’s Canadian Survey of Consumer Expectations (CSCE) by documenting the characteristics and size of such working arrangements"--Abstract.
