Abstract

Technology is changing how individuals work and the nature of the job contracts they take. New job market realities include gig work, working for multiple employers, part-time, and on short-term contracts. This study aims to understand whether individuals believe that technological change will lead their industries to experience an increase in alternative work contracts, including self-employment as well as temporary and multiple employer contracts. Through an OECD survey carried out in 25 countries, we find that most individuals expect these work conditions to become more common. However, people’s opinion highly depends on their country of residence and industry of work.
