In studies the concept of the Gig Economy has been advanced– making a living with temp jobs. On the street we call it hustling – creating your own opportunities and doing what you have to. Both terms are about one and the same thing: the requirement of other skills than living off a steady job .
What does hustling in the Next Economy mean? How can we build a life on juggling gigs? What impact do new platforms have on our opportunities? Which changes are about to happen and how do they affect our city? Economic Explorations Rotterdam and Studio Wolfpack are diving into it. Please join us and learn with us.
