More than 1 in 2 (52 per cent) gig workers in India feel that their work environment makes it challenging to upskill or find new job opportunities, a report showed on Tuesday.

Almost 50 per cent of online platform workers find their jobs through traditional referral networks despite 80 per cent having internet access, according to the report by CIIE.CO, a startup platform built at IIM Ahmedabad.

The report was prepared after a survey of 4,070 platform-based gig workers between the high earning knowledge workers and daily-wage agricultural workers.

Of the 400 women surveyed, 60 per cent provided services related to being house helps and earned relatively low.
