You're reading Entrepreneur Europe, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. The platform economy has revolutionised how people work, offering flexibility that traditional roles often can't match. Millions across Europe turn to platform work, with 3% of individuals in 17 EU and EFTA countries taking part— a share that is steadily growing. However, this growth comes with challenges. How can policymakers balance the need for flexibility with meaningful protections? What can be done to ensure platform workers' views shape the regulations that impact them?Its workforce is diverse – students, part-time employees and self-employed

When discussing AI job displacement, we often forget its impact on contract work and the Gig economy. Yet, AI-powered tools will significantly impact these workers. However, the effect will be uneven depending on the control gig workers have over their work.

Memo

“Wall Street’s takeover of US health-care infrastructure and Silicon Valley’s introduction of gig nursing apps are a dangerous duo that is eroding our health-care system and eviscerating our ability to take care of each other.”

Roosevelt InstituteUber for Nursing: How an AI-Powered Gig Model Is Threatening Health Care - Roosevelt InstituteThrough original interviews with 29 “gig” nurses and nursing assistants, Katie J. Wells and Funda Ustek Spilda find that on-demand nursing companies encourage nurses to work for less pay, fail to provide certainty about scheduling and the amount or nature of work, take little to no accountability for worker safety, and can threaten patient well-being by placing nurses in unfamiliar clinical environments with no onboarding or facility training.

🚀 Redefining Work in a Hybrid Society – Technology, #Leadership, and the Future of Employment

The way we work is changing—fast. Traditional employment models are being challenged by fractional leadership, the gig #economy, and the rise of remote-first collaboration. But is this shift making work better, or just more fragmented?

In this latest episode of Redefining Society & Technology on ITSPmagazine, I sat down with Sara Daw, author of "Strategy and Leadership as a Service" to talk about how technology is reshaping the workforce.

We dive into:

💡 The rise of fractional C-suite roles and why executives are choosing autonomy over full-time positions
💡 How companies are shifting from payroll to access-based #employment
💡 The role of psychological ownership in a world where contracts no longer define commitment
💡 What this means for future generations, as they enter the workforce with an entirely different mindset

Technology enables this shift, but the real question is: Are we using it to empower people—or just creating a new kind of instability?

What do you think?
Are we heading toward a more flexible and fulfilling work model, or is something getting lost in the transition? Let’s discuss.

"Africa’s story of labor exploitation did not begin with the gig economy, and it won’t end with it either. We are witnessing a digital rearticulation of the same forces that have historically shaped the continent’s economic structures—where foreign investment is prioritized over fair wages, and technology serves as a cover for worker exploitation."
