The Gig-Economy in the Philippines
The gig economy has now become a common employment model worldwide, where mostly small jobs are outsourced to independent self-employed or freelancers at very short notice. In many cases, an online platform also serves as a marketplace between contractors and customers.
The Philippines ranked 1st among the fastest growing gig economy markets (annual growth over 200%) even before the pandemic with more than 1.5 million online workers. Foreign companies are also increasingly turning to Filipino gig workers given their excellent English language skills paired with good training and an attractive cost structure.
