The digital economy has triggered rapid transformations across all facets of life, progressively emerging as a significant economic component contributing to the overall economic development of nations. The Gig economy model is increasingly gaining global traction, and Vietnam is no exception. This model offers numerous employment opportunities for workers, particularly those with advanced professional skills, self-management capabilities, and the capacity to work independently. These opportunities have the potential to not only enhance but also revolutionize the Vietnamese labor force. However, the Gig economy model presents numerous risks and challenges that could impact workers' employment stability. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the Gig economy model, analyzes its implications for Vietnamese workers, and offers several recommendations for Vietnam moving forward.
