FREELANCE RESILIENCE IN MONTENEGRO

Abstract

The problem of traditional employment, high unemployment rates, and the outbreak of Covid-19 became the reason behind the growing phenomenon of freelancing in many countries. Freelancers who work across the spectrum of the creative and cultural economy, in addition to the benefits, occupy notoriously precarious labor conditions and positions. Challenges for freelancers are twofold, and it does impact their well-being. Thus, resilience has become increasingly important as it speaks to several business-oriented factors and practices that help increase survivability and sustainability for all workers, including freelancers. The primary purpose of this paper is to show which factors that affect the resilience of freelancers in Montenegro. The methodology of a research paper is standard for the social sciences, and the writing is divided into two parts. The first part is based on modern theoretical assumptions of the personal resilience concepts and freelance concept. A brief analysis of the idea itself introduces an easier understanding of the second part, which focuses on Montenegro's freelancer's resilience indicators.
