By definition, the gig economy is based on flexible, temporary, or freelance jobs, often involving connecting with clients or customers through an online platform. The gig economy can benefit workers, businesses, and consumers by making work more adaptable to the needs of the moment and demand for flexible lifestyles.

The gig economy is growing every day and more people are able to carry out professional tasks from wherever they are. Lingo Africa, a human capital development platform has done its research and the statistics we have been reviewing on the gig economy show that the gig economy could provide consistent work for Africans – even though they may have full-time jobs. All they need is a PC and access to the internet.

The younger generation is leaning towards the gig economy because it offers more flexible working conditions as opposed to more traditional jobs where one has to be tied to a desk from 9 to 5 on a daily basis. According to data from Fortunly, the main motivation for people seeking jobs in the gig market is attaining a better work-life balance. They also maintain that millennials dominate the freelancing market.

According to a 2018 survey by FlexJobs, top motivations for working in the gig economy are the “desire to choose when to work” (62% of respondents), the “desire to be their own boss” (49%), and the “ability to choose the most suitable projects” (46%).

Other reasons for choosing gig work are family concerns, eliminating commuting costs (both in terms of time and money), better productivity, avoiding office politics and distractions, a bad local job market, and health concerns.
