Description
The Zambian platform economy is growing. By 2023, more than 14 gig economy startups operated in the Zambian market. They include Tigmoo Eats, AfriDelivery, R&G Ride, Letsfarmit, Tilika, and Musanga, among others. As the Zambian gig economy grows, Zambia is already grappling with challenges related to regulation of the gig economy such as taxation
The discussion will bring together experts from Zambia to exploreย the Zambian gig economy, and the role of employment and competition law in regulating the Zambian gig economy. Additionally, GIZ willย present an open course for policymakers, civil society leaders, trade union representatives, academics, and business professionals onย Shaping the Gig Economy, which gives hands-on practical knowledge and tools to better understand the potential and perils of regulating the gig economy
This is the first webinar that brings on board a regulator, employment law expert, digital ecosystem expert and a gig worker.
Moreover, Dr. Kutoma Wakunoma is the author of this report, REGULATION OF DIGITAL PLATFORMS FOR A SOCIALLY-JUST GIG ECONOMY IN KENYA ,
