The gig economy refers to a non-traditional "9-to-5" work arrangement characterized by short-term and flexible job engagements. By leveraging internet and mobile technologies to swiftly match supply and demand, it constitutes a vital form of the sharing economy and represents a novel approach to human resource allocation. This economic sector primarily consists of freelancers with intermittent workloads, utilizing digital platforms to connect service providers and consumers, typically manifesting as crowd-sourced work and on-demand app-mediated services.

  China’s gig economy online recruitment data was constructed using keywords including takeout (外卖), Meituan (美团), Ele.me (饿了么), flash delivery (闪送), delivery rider (骑手), Didi (滴滴), designated driving service (代驾), part-time work (兼职), side job (副业), flexible employment (灵活用工), and platform economy (平台经济). It encompasses online recruitment information from five data sources within the gig economy sector.
