Gig Economy

The gig economy is nothing new. Freelancers have been around for decades and fast-forward into 2020, freelancers can now insure their income against the risk of injury and illness, even for something as minor as a fractured hand or the flu.

COVER chatted with Steve Piper, the Chief distribution officer at FMI to get answers to the following questions and more:

- Freelancing is a growing segment of employment. What challenges have people in this segment had in the past with getting appropriate insurance?

- Why has the industry been unable to cater for them?

- What are the most important risks they need to ensure and how does FMI accommodate them?
