With the increase in the labour supply and the labour market imbalances globally, a notable increase is witnessed in the number of temporary employments as well as flexible arrangement in employment. This new development coupled with technological advancement create opportunity for flexible work through digital platforms, and the emergence of a new term in employment – the “gig” employment. Examples of gig workers are ‘independent contractors’, ‘consultants’, or ‘contract professor’, which are working only to complete a task for specific time and specific payment, with no work connection with their hiring institution once the contract ends. In the meantime, digitalisation has created more opportunities for individuals to engage in gig employment for income generation. The rise of the gig workers calls for new initiatives in human resource development policy as they continue to play important roles in employment creation, production and income generation. From this study, a total of 218 occupations were identified as gig works which offered flexible working hours, flexible workplace and with or without digital presence. This study attempts to measure the gig workers in Malaysia using Labour Force Survey to gauge sociodemographic profiles of this new group of employment.
