In recent years, many people have turned to side hustle freelancing, gig work and online businesses to supplement or replace traditional jobs. The rise of platforms like Uber and Etsy along with social media and e-commerce has made it easier than ever to earn independently. While this offers flexibility and additional income, it also raises concerns about job security, benefits and long-term stability.
Is the gig economy the future of work or does it create more financial uncertainty??
I think it is still financial instability, any form of work if it is based on the minimum salary it means that we are not in a financially stable state because the world of work is changing and needs are increasing every day and that is what makes me think that stability is very doubtful, especially now that there are many technologies that can replace basic human abilities in the world of labor so it is very normal that stabilization with general work that is easy to do will also be easily displaced by new technology.
I think that side jobs will develop for the better in the future, but they should not be the main source of income, but rather a side job.
