These days, the gig economy is one of Singapore’s biggest industries. Entrepreneurs, seniors and even students are taking to working on a gig basis, which provides more flexibility compared to a corporate job.
The “gig economy” refers to the growing number of people who work flexibly, either for supplementary income or as their primary source of income, on an a-la-carte basis. In other words, you can be a gig worker for multiple employers at the same time, and there are no contractual stipulations about working hours (beyond what you agree on with your clients). This allows you to have more flexible working hours.
