Regulatory issues remain

Gig Economy – Employee vs Contractor – Uber Lyft, TaskRabbit

In 2020, 80% of adults may own smartphone

Temporary Work rate has grown heavily – peaked in 2010 at 13.6% growth rate

Technology is transforming labor

Good job was created in the Industrial Age

Two schools of thought –

Tech decentralizes employees

Haves >>>needs without the use of a corporate structure

Low skill workers are further left behind

Employee vs. Independent Contractor court decisions are going to be even more critical

Gig Economy

  • 61% make
  • Race
  • All attributes are higher injury risks

Offerors of Gigs think that the workers are being exploited

Half of Gig offerors oppose regulations

Missed opportunity for Workers Comp insurers 

Will robots and automation destroy the Gig economy

Who owns the data?  Where does it flow?  Who does the analytics?  Who is the capital provider?

Fitbit – Wearable tech

Ingestibles and implantables  

Insurance industry is not laggard in the economy – have always been on the forefront for coverage
