Micro-jobs—short, task-based gigs like data labeling, transcription tasks, delivery jobs, social media moderation, or even small freelancing assignments—are becoming a bigger part of the global economy. Some people love the flexibility and instant payouts, while others argue micro-jobs are unstable, low-paying, and lack benefits.

Platforms offering micro-work are growing quickly, especially among students, part-time workers, and people seeking side income. But long-term, can a society built on tiny gigs provide economic stability?

I read a compelling analysis on https://www.gmru.co.uk/
about the changing nature of employment, and micro-work came up as a major trend shaping the future.

Do you think micro-jobs will become a dominant form of work? Or are they just a short-term solution for people seeking extra income?
