The Evolution of Labor Law in the Gig Economy

Abstract

This article examines the transformation of labor law in response to the rise of the gig economy. It explores the challenges of classifying workers, ensuring fair wages, and providing social protections under existing legal frameworks. A comparative analysis of legislative responses in the United States, Europe, and India is presented, offering insights into diverse strategies to regulate gig work. Recommendations are made to harmonize labor laws globally to protect gig workers' rights and adapt to the evolving work environment.
