GIGGIN' POLICY
YOUNG PEOPLE SHAPING GIG ECONOMY POLICY
HERE FOR YOU!
The Giggin’ Policy project is founded on the vision that young people are the source of tomorrow’s economy and therefore need to be in the lead in designing future strategies for regions.
Giggin’ Policy is here to support, guide and help raise awareness about the effects surrounding the Gig Economy.

WHY GIGGIN' POLICY?
Is the gig economy a liberating new form of self-employment or a new form of exploitation?
A gig economy is an environment in which temporary positions are common and organisations contract with independent workers for short-term engagements. Surprisingly little is known about the realities of ‘gig work’ and there is a growing need to reflect on how society deals with these changes in a manner that protects and educates citizens, especially vulnerable young people.
By involving vulnerable youth in policy making processes, young people will be given the opportunity to take on leadership roles, develop competences and gain skills and practical experience which will lead to more effective decision-making in their lives in the future. Involving youth is about recognising the benefits youth offer to organisations and whole communities. It is all about ensuring that policy does not damage them or contain their potential to shape a better society.
