Labor, Recruitment, and Employment Data

   The gig economy refers to a flexible work arrangement characterized by short-term engagements, distinct from traditional 9-to-5 schedules. It leverages internet and mobile technologies to rapidly match supply and demand, serving as a vital component of the sharing economy and a novel form of allocation of human resources. This economic sector consists of freelancers with intermittent workloads, primarily manifesting in two forms: crowd-based work and on-demand tasks facilitated through applications.

   This new economic model is sweeping across the globe. According to data released by China's Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security in 2021, approximately 200 million people in China are engaged in flexible employment.

   China's gig economy online recruitment database is constructed based on keywords such as food delivery, Meituan, Ele.me, flash delivery, riders, Didi, designated driving, part-time jobs, side hustles, flexible employment, and platform economy. It aggregates online recruitment information from five data sources, covering fields including Company Name(公司名称), Work Location(工作地址), Position(岗位), Number of Openings(招聘人数), Compensation(待遇), Work Experience(工作年限), Education Requirement(学历), and Posting Date(发布日期), providing robust data support for related research.
