S02 E03: Exploring Kenya's gig work opportunities
Digital platforms are fundamentally changing the world of work. While the platform economy opens immense opportunities for flexible, gainful and convenient entrepreneurship, the precarious livelihoods of workers and service providers often remain unaddressed.
Right after our Multi-stakeholder dialogue in November 2022 in Nairobi, SET-researchers Marie Blüml and Fabian Stephany talked with Tom Kwanya, the main author of our study on gig platform regulations in Kenya, and Teresios Bundi, gig work researcher and member of Kenyan gig workers union to discuss possible pathways towards a fairer online platform economy in Kenya. Find out which opportunities gig work can offer and what gig workers demand from their employers and policy makers to achieve a fair and socially-just gig economy.
