Work without jobs: A study of gig economy workers' existence

The project will provide empirically grounded, in-depth knowledge about gig economy work and workers. Researchers will examine the effects of gig-work on workers’ short- and long-term labour-and-life opportunities, and, additionally, how gig workers strategize to benefit from/cope with gig work as well as the strategies deployed to improve conditions for gig workers. The research will be exploratory and organized as an ethnographic study based on:

1. Interviews with workers
2. Participant observations 
3. Self-reflective, auto-ethnographic research.
