Dependence and Precarity in the Gig Economy

A Longitudinal Analysis of Platform Work and Mental Distress

Ya Guo Sizhan Cui Zhuofei Lu Senhu Wang

Key Finding

High-dependence gig workers experience mental distress levels comparable to those with no paid work, while low-dependence workers (with additional employment) show significantly better mental health outcomes.

This groundbreaking study uses nationally representative UK data to reveal the hidden mental health costs of platform work dependence, challenging assumptions about gig economy flexibility.
