Exploring the Landscape of Gig Work for People with Disabilities
To gain insight into the emerging gig economy in Canada, the Work Wellness Institute conducted a scoping review and a qualitative study investigating the experiences of people living with disabilities (PLWD) involved in gig work. This webinar showcases both the benefits and drawbacks of gig work for this population and explores the nuances around how PLWD end up in gig work, and what changes they’d like to see implemented to create a more accessible and equitable gig economy for everyone.
