KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 (Bernama) -- Eighty three per cent of gig workers in Singapore, UK, and US are interested in relocating to another country for a contract job.
Also globally, the on-demand gig economy is creating on-the-go gig workers -- who are willing to relocate to other countries for the right contract job, according to a survey by Wakefield Research for Graebel Companies Inc,
The survey was conducted among 200 gig workers in each of three markets -- UK, US and Singapore between March 27 and April 10, using an email invitation and an online survey, a statement said.
While contract workers are drawn to global relocations, they are still holding out for jobs with the right benefits -- almost 3 in 5 (57 per cent) respondents said they rather move to a less desirable destination if the trade-off was better pay and benefits.
Meanwhile, there are three top benefits gig workers look into which are; paid time off (94 per cent) -- important since contractors would move away from friends and family; relocation cost and/or financial support for moving expenses (93 per cent) and repatriation assistance (93 per cent) -- to help workers move back home after their contract is complete.
The most important relocation support also includes a housing allowance and/or financial assistance for rent (92 per cent); personal spending stipends (91 per cent); language courses and/or cultural training (91 per cent).
