The use of gig workers has grown exponentially, and employment law is failing to keep pace with the development of the gig economy. Global research conducted by Ius Laboris member firms, including FordHarrison, shows that pressure is building on local markets. The recent Ius Laboris report, The Rise of the Gig Economy, surveys 40 jurisdictions worldwide and provides insight on how the gig economy is impacting employment law globally.
