Authors

Abstract
The gig economy has
emerged as a significant alternative to traditional corporate employment,
especially among young workers. This paper explores the long-term implications
of youth employment in the gig economy compared to the corporate sector. It
examines the pros and cons of each employment model, their impact on career
development, job security, skill acquisition, and overall well-being. The
findings suggest that while the gig economy offers flexibility and autonomy, it
often lacks the stability and benefits associated with corporate jobs.
Conversely, corporate employment provides structured career paths and benefits
but may limit flexibility and personal autonomy. This paper aims to provide
insights for policymakers, educators, and young workers navigating their career
choices.
