Demand for technically skilled gig workers has gone up as a direct result of large enterprises looking to optimise their future through a digital presence and lower fixed costs with reduction of full-time employees. Gig workers are freelance workers who work on a contractual or temporary basis for a specific period.
According to staffing company Team Lease Services, demand for technical gig workers increased by 20%-25% between April-November this year compared to pre-Covid levels. The firm’s business head Sudeep Kumar Sen said this trend has also created an opportunity for women gig workers. We have seen an increase of 13%-14% of women in the white collar gig worker segments.
