The economy worldwide undergoes tremendous changes due to the impact of various factors such as technological development, digitalisation, and globalisation. Technology has become an inevitable part of our everyday lives. We all use smartphones, enjoy the help of computers embedded in almost all machines, heavily rely on information from the Internet, etc. It seems that as never before, the world has become a global village where people can interact freely and easily. The last episode of the COVID-19 pandemic has just emphasised the role of the new technologies in the opportunities to communicate and work remotely. Therefore, the labour markets do not remain apart from these tendencies and are urged to adapt quickly. We are witnessing a proliferation of different new features that just some time ago were characterised as marginal cases. This is particularly relevant regarding the so-called non-standard forms of employment that nowadays are commonly known under the name of “gig economy”.
