  14. Excellent article, Ruwan, yours is one of the best reads based on the Gig economy. Gig economy is gaining momentum and I have a cousin who is very much a gig worker and he prefers the freedom he has without a manager, and working whenever he pleases. But like you have mentioned, I see the potential drawbacks as job security and other regular benefits associated with a job too. Would be interesting to see if Sri Lanka would adopt Gig workers one day.
