Well-Being and Mental Health in the Gig Economy: Policy Perspectives on Precarity

by Sally Anne Gross, George Musgrave and Laima Janciute

About this book

Sally Anne Gross, George Musgrave and Laima Janciute consider mental health and wellbeing in the gig economy, using research on musicians' working lives as an important point of reference. The report examines the tension between work pursued through passion and the insecurity that can accompany freelance careers.

It connects personal experiences with questions about employment conditions, responsibility and support, and develops policy perspectives on precarity. This is the complete 2018 CAMRI extended policy report, with its original discussion and references. It is a distinct earlier publication rather than an abridged edition of Gross and Musgrave's later book, Can Music Make You Sick?
