I'll answer this question on a micro level.
There are many freelance designers and freelance lecturers around me. From the income point of view, on the whole, belongs to the middle state of the peer group; from the career development point of view, once the freelance work, as long as the income is not too low, in the state of every day, it is very difficult to return to the "9 to 5" a board of work state.
However, limited by the professionalism of the employer and the provider of the "odd job", coupled with the generally high transaction costs in the country due to the weak foundation of honesty, the income of the "freelance knowledge workers" that I have seen is very unstable, and the individual's future career development goals are not clear. The company's goal is to provide a more efficient and effective way to improve the quality of its products and services.
On the whole, I recognize the rising trend of the "casual labor economy" in the future. I also support the idea that knowledge workers who have accumulated a certain amount of knowledge should be brave enough to invest in a personal branding-based "odd job service" model. It is only recommended not to be too optimistic in estimating that this kind of "service purchasing" will explode in a short period of time. For those who want to pursue this career, you need to have strong goal management and the ability to take action.

Flexible labor eases employment pressure in China
Since the outbreak of the New Crown epidemic in early 2020, the scope of activities of the population has been greatly impeded by the epidemic, resulting in large-scale unemployment in the short term, which reached its highest level in nearly 20 years in December 2020, and the number of unemployed people has skyrocketed to 11.6 million. Afterwards, with the effective control of the epidemic, the unemployment situation in cities and towns has gradually improved, but the overall employment pressure is still higher than before the epidemic.
2020 year, China's labor force population of 880 million, of which the size of the flexible employment of 200 million people, the Internet flexible employment of 84 million people. It can be seen that flexible employment plays an important role in alleviating the employment pressure in China.

The value of the performance is mainly as follows: first, the society brings income and protection for workers, while the realization of the value of the majority of workers makes the society stable and healthy development; second, the improvement of laws and regulations will promote the quality of workers, which in turn promotes the flexible employment of enterprises, and vice versa, the enterprises solve the problem of employment through a variety of ways, and the flow of talent is more accurate, and promotes the benign socio-economic development; lastly, the workers' recognition of the form of flexible employment is not only the best way to promote the development of the economy, it is also the most important way for the economy. Lastly, the recognition of flexible employment by workers will lead to more benign development of enterprises, which will provide more flexible jobs for workers.

The advantage of the zero-work economy is the price, and the disadvantage is the speed. Not particularly urgent, when letting the choice of more price advantage! Grasp
The traditional model of direct employment of employees is faced with the problem of high labor costs, not only to bear the wages of employees, "five insurance and one gold" and other explicit costs, but also to bear the separation indemnity, the cost of medical period of the employee employment costs and other implicit costs. Therefore, the short-term, temporary, batch of flexible labor demand-oriented "zero work economy".
Zero-work economy is essentially an on-demand economy and skills economy, which is characterized by freedom and flexibility. It is characterized by freedom and flexibility. It greatly enhances the flexibility of workers' employment, including the mode of employment, employment time, and so on. For example, freelance writers, webcasters, personal trainers, translators, and so on.
Overall, the future development of zero-work economy is still very good.
