□ The Sharing Economy – Market Size and Issues
Market size of the sharing economy that can be shared by buying and selling unutilized assets is rapidly growing. In the so-called gig economy, there are some people who earn income without belonging to companies, and some people have taken second job while they are employed. According to a survey conducted by the McKinsey Global Institute in 2015, the gig economy is forecasted to expand to $2.7trillion by 2025.
Billions of people working in the world as influencers, creators, freelancers, having multiple jobs or second job, or people who wants work on what they love or good at are exploring ways to generate income while using their time as flexible as possible. However, many people are unable to neither reach their dreams nor achieve their desirable work styles.
