Is the gig economy really the \u2018servant\u2019 economy\u2019? <\/strong>Ultra-fast delivery apps and on-demand services and the gig workers they depend on have been termed \u201cthe servant economy\u201d by the Financial Times<\/a>\u2019 Sarah O\u2019Connor. Critics have signaled that the rise of these apps reflect a resurgence in inequality as companies often play up how servile their employees are, with slogans such as \u201ceveryone\u2019s private driver\u201d and \u201cdemocratizing the right to laziness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The grow-at-all-costs model has played its part in this: <\/strong>For years, companies such as Uber, Lyft, and Deliveroo have struggled to make returns due to offering these services at a cost that\u2019s less than what they pay. This has often led to gig economy workers being overworked and underpaid.<\/p>\n

The current climate may be changing this: <\/strong>Amid high inflation, gloomy growth forecasts, and higher interest rates, investors are beginning to shy away from loss making companies. Paying workers less or cutting down on jobs will be difficult in a time of worker shortages as well as increased employment rights and protections for gig workers. Meanwhile, charging higher prices to customers will be tricky too as higher inflation eats into their straggling bottom lines, O\u2019Connor writes.<\/p>\n

\n

Pixar\u2019s Lightyear has been banned in Egypt and 13 other countries: <\/strong>Walt Disney has failed to receive approvals to release its new film \u2014 which features the Toy Story character Buzz Lightyear \u2014 in a number of Arab and non-Arab countries, producers tell Reuters<\/a>. Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Lebanon, and others are among the countries who will not be showing the children\u2019s movie due to a brief scene that portrays a moment between a same-gender couple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
