Rising Costs of Essential Items for Gig Workers in the Netherlands - Jun 2024
How much does it cost a gig worker to be a gig worker?
This is the question that WageIndicator aims to answer through the Cost of Living survey.
To calculate the income that workers should receive to live a decent life, WageIndicator relies on over 300 collectors around the world to find out how much people spend on various essential expenses, including food, housing, utilities, and more.
These expenses also cover some work-related costs that a gig economy worker incurs to do their job, including equipment, vehicles, petrol, and so on.
In these visualisations, you can see how much these costs are increasing compared to last year.
The focus is on gig workers in the Netherlands, with an emphasis on food delivery riders, taxi drivers, and freelancers who work remotely online.
