In fact, this ‘gig economy’ is already here with many Australian ‘giggers’ earning income from digital and sharing economy platforms like Uber (22.7%) Airtasker (34.8%) and Freelancer (11.8%), and new marketplaces popping up in the digital economy every day, creating increasing opportunities for Australia’s future freelance, distributed and in-demand workforces.
