With the cost of living rising, many thousands more people are expected to take up a side hustle or work in the so-called gig economy. This super-temporary style of employment has boomed over the last decade leaving regulators running to catch up. In this week's Talking Business Weekly with Aaron Heslehurst we dig into the gig economy with the EU Commissioner who is leading the drive to regulate the sector and Tim Fung, the boss of Airtasker. Separately Aaron talks to the boss of Turkey-based white goods maker Arcelik about supply chains, war and doing business in a country where inflation is nearing 80 percent.
