Disability, Entrepreneurship, and the Gig Economy Research Summit

This summit will highlight key findings from the Georgia Institute of Technology's (Georgia Tech's) Field Initiated Project (FIP) on Contingent Employment of Individuals with Disabilities (FIP-CE), which is sponsored by NIDILRR. This project produces empirical evidence about the participation, practices, and characteristics of people with disabilities engaged in contingent work, as well as their rationales, attitudes, perceptions, and experiences in contingent work arrangements. Millions of American workers, including people with disabilities, have contingent or, alternatively, "non-traditional" work arrangements that differ from standard work arrangements characterized by permanent jobs with traditional employer-employee relationships. Contingent workers include agency-placed and direct-hire temporary employees (temps), contract company workers, independent contractors, on-call workers, and day laborers. The recent emergence of online-based or mobile app-based employment opportunities has further contributed to the redefinition of employment and the labor market.
