Does providing gig workers with unemployment insurance create a moral hazard?
[['eprint_typename_blog_post' not defined]]
Non-standard workers doing short-term, flexible jobs are a growing segment of the labour force, which poses difficult questions. Is it good policy to provide unemployment insurance to them? Do people engage in gig work by choice? And should they be rewarded for it? Jonas Kolsrud and Johannes Spinnewijn explore the issue and argue that many gig workers are likely to have few resources other than unemployment insurance when they become jobless.
