24/10/2017

The so-called ‘gig economy’ has attracted increasing attention in recent years, with a boom in online platforms for providing taxi services (such as Uber), delivery services (such as Deliveroo) and a range of different household services (such as Handy). But how many Swiss actually earn their living through working for such platforms?

Now, results are available from an online survey by the University of Hertfordshire and Ipsos MORI, in association with the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS), UNI Europa and syndicom which show high participation by Swiss in the growing online economy.
