English term or phrase: gig economy

Definition from Cambridge Dictionary:
A way of working that is based on people having temporary jobs or doing separate pieces of work, each paid separately, rather than working for an employer.

Example sentence(s):

Gig economy workers were 50 per cent more likely to report feelings of helplessness, and almost 40 per cent more likely to report feelings of little control. If anything, then, gig economy workers were more likely to report powerlessness than other working respondents. The Conversation
It also found that ‘liquid’ workers, such as gig economy workers and the self-employed, face greater barriers to financial inclusion compared to traditional workers. They are less likely to hold financial products and are almost twice as likely (28%) to be turned down for financial products due to their employment history than traditional employees (15%).

zakázková ekonomika

Definition from EPALE:
Zakázková ekonomika („gig economy“) a ekonomika sdílení jsou novými způsoby organizace práce. On-line platformy propojují nakupující a ty, kteří prodávají výrobky nebo služby; jednotlivci prodávají svoji práci na krátkodobých zakázkách nebo projektech.

Example sentence(s):

Nejpřesnější je proto mluvit o „gig economy“ neboli „on-demand economy“, do češtiny zatím překládané jako „zakázková ekonomika“, což se váže ke skutečné podstatě toho, o co jde: o zadávání jednotlivých větších či menších zakázek nejrůznějšího charakteru (od několik desítek vteřin trvající kontroly funkčnosti webových stránek přes doručení zboží až po grafické projekty na několik měsíců) přes digitální platformy a aplikace lidem, kteří dostanou zaplaceno pouze za tento jednotlivý úkon a jinak k nim zadavatel nemá další závazek. - A2larm

Notes to answerer

jarda And yes. This translation is great. I just wanted to say, that term selection done by "Glossary-building KudoZ" is based on false assumption. Read some book about lexicography already and stop proposing agenda-loaded neologism for translation dictionaries.
