With the global gig economy growing exponentially in recent years, increasing attention has been paid to the financial vulnerabilities of gig workers. These workers, such as rideshare drivers, delivery couriers, and freelance contractors, frequently face challenges related to low pay, lack of benefits, and job insecurity. The absence of minimum wage guarantees and the reliance on market forces to determine compensation can result in earnings that are insufficient to cover basic living expenses.Since 2014, the WageIndicator Foundation has been providing Living Wage estimates for wage-earners based on its cost of living database, currently covering 164 countries. At the same time, GIZ through its gig economy initiative has been engaging workers, platforms and policy stakeholders to foster favourable framework conditions for fair work in the gig economy. Now, in partnership with GIZ, WageIndicator is introducing the Living Tariff tool to help gig workers accurately assess their wage requirements. The living tariff tool is being piloted in the Pakistan, Kenya and Indonesia in close cooperation with Centre for Labour Research, and WageIndicator teams.The tool will provide them accurate cost of living information and also help them account for calculate hidden and indirect costs like waiting times, cancellation fees, and non-payment by clients. It will also provide them information about relevant labour laws, vacation days, standard working hours, and more.Join us at 2 PM CET on the 30th of November, 2023, for the official introduction to the Living Tariff tool in Kenya, Pakistan, and Indonesia. A panel of global and local experts will discuss the relevance of the tool and its future potential in creating a more just gig economy for all.
