The Gig Economy Project, led by Ben Wray, was initiated by BRAVE NEW EUROPE enabling us to provide analysis, updates, ideas, and reports from all across Europe on the Gig Economy. If you have information or ideas to share, please contact Ben on GEP@Braveneweurope.com

In this video, Esther Anaya Boig, from the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial College London, and Dr Cosmin Popan, from the Department of Sociology at Manchester Metropolitan University, summarise the findings of their paper (which can be accessed here) on the intersectional precarity of riders in the app-based food delivery sector. We publish it here with the permission of the authors.
This video will be shown at the ‘Cycling & Society 2021 symposium’, which starts on Thursday (16 September) and you can register for here.
