Abstract
Following recent research on consumer attitudes and behaviors in the technology-driven sharing economy, we have identified and provided empirical evidence on motivations for participating in collaborative consumption. Using and replicating data from Ardent Partners, BBC, BloombergOpinion, BLS, D and S, Edelman 2 6 Intelligence, Eurofound, GAO, HumanResources, PersolKelly, Statista, Upwork, and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding percentage of self-employed EU workers (most popular sectors), percentage of gig workers in the U.S. (by age), distribution of workers (by age group), how often individuals engage in freelancing, where individuals typically go to find freelance work, top contingent workforce management challenges, and share of workers on contingent contracts (by industry).
