The advent of the Information Age has seen people leverage their skills through various online and offline platforms to make a living as compared to taking conventional jobs, this phenomenon has been termed the “Gig Economy”. A gig economy is a free market system in which temporary positions are common and organisations hire independent workers for short-term commitments. The term "gig" is a slang word for a job that lasts a specified period of time. Examples include Fiver, Uber and AirBnB hosting.
