The gig economy is becoming an increasingly attractive option for school leavers who want to earn an income without pursuing a tertiary education.

But is this a sustainable livelihood and how might this trend impede efforts to become a high-income nation?

BFM discusses the phenomenon and policy recommendations that should be considered with Prof Dr Chin Yee Whah of Universiti Sains Malaysia, who is also an Aliran member.

Produced by: Tun Hizami Hashim
Presented by: Shazana Mokhtar
