During a recent Socioeconomic Research Portal for the Philippines knowledge-sharing forum at the Philippine Institute for Development Studies , Prof. Miraluna Tacdao from the De La Salle University Social Development Research Center explored the complex relationship between global and local platforms.She emphasized the pressing need to address the factors that shape labor arrangements in diverse cultural and economic contexts.
Informal networks and communities established through social media platforms like Facebook, TikTok and YouTube often support this skill development.These communities, Tacdao said, are essential for sharing knowledge and resources, enabling freelancers to re-outsource work to one another.'In early 2015, individual freelancers began cascading work to others — often informally to their spouses, children, neighbors, or villagers,' she observed.
