KUALA LUMPUR: After decades of public service in a top university, economist Prof Emeritus Barjoyai Bardai says he is now like a gig worker and soon, many other Malaysians could be, too.
“I have contracts with three different universities, each with different terms of employment,” said the former senior lecturer from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, likening each contract to an individual gig.
“Such informal work arrangements have become an integral part of the economy after the Covid-19 pandemic made deep changes to how people work and how companies operate,” he said. With more gig-like arrangements, he said that rules must be put in place to ensure that workers have adequate social protections.
A Universiti Utara Malaysia study on gig workers nationwide, of which a majority were in the p-hailing and e-hailing industries, found that 60% of them were not financially resilient enough to withstand an emergency.
