Abstract

This study aims to contribute to a distinct understanding of economic transitions in India and their implications for sustainable development and social equity. The gig economy represents a significant shift in employment patterns, characterised by short-term contracts and freelance work. Understanding its impact is crucial as it influences the livelihoods of millions. The community of people under the poverty line in India has historically faced socio-economic challenges. Analysing the gig economy’s effect on these marginalised groups can highlight both opportunities and risks associated with this new economic model. SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) are directly related to our study. Insights from this research can inform policymakers about the gig economy’s role in alleviating poverty. This can lead to more targeted and effective interventions to support vulnerable populations.
