The impact of COVID-19 on the gig economy : short- and long-term concerns / by Sung-Hee Jeon and Yuri Ostrovsky.: CS45-28/1-2020-19E-PDF
"A recent study (Jeon et al. 2019) revealed several important aspects of the gig economy in Canada. The study found that gig workers (GW)—self-employed freelancers, on-demand online workers and day labourers—represented about 8%-10% of all Canadian workers in 2016, and were about equally split between those who did gig work to supplement their wage employment and those who did not earn any wages or salaries and therefore relied primarily on their gig earnings. The gig earnings of the majority of GWs did not exceed five thousand dollars per year. Yet, for more than a quarter of GWs, their gig earnings represented all their annual earnings and more than 89% of their total annual income"--Page [1].
