Rethinking legal taxonomies for the gig economy
回顾英国零工经济兴起的证据,提出指导税法和劳动法改革的关键原则,以帮助政策更好地实现其根本目标。

Recent technological change and the rise of the gig economy have made it easier for agents to respond to these incentives, contributing to an increase in self-employment. In this article, we review the evidence on the rise of the gig economy in the UK and lay out a set of key principles to guide the reform of tax and employment law to better enable policy to meet its underlying objectives.
