Trend Analysis and Study of GIG Economy Culture With Special reference to Delhi-NCR

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: India's gig economy is experiencing rapid growth, with the workforce expected to expand from 7.7 million (2020-21) to 23.5 million by 2029-30, driven by digital adoption, flexibility, and economic necessity. Medium-skilled roles dominate, but low and high-skilled roles are rising. Key trends include increased participation from retirees, blockchain adoption, and higher reliance on contractual hiring by traditional companies, alongside critical demands for better social security, minimum pay guarantees, and improved income stability.
