Abstract	The gig economy has evolved from a peripheral employment mechanism into a structural pillar of contemporary labour markets. Early digital platforms facilitated on-demand, task-based work but were marked by income volatility, regulatory ambiguity, and algorithmic opacity. This paper conceptualizes the emergence of “Gig Economy 2.0” as a technologically integrated and structurally stabilized evolution of platform-mediated labour systems. Unlike first-generation gig platforms that prioritized scalability over stability, Gig Economy 2.0 embeds artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, cloud-native architecture, compliance automation, and worker-centric financial dashboards into its operational design. Using a mixed-methods research framework combining macroeconomic secondary data, primary surveys of 500 gig workers and 100 platform managers, qualitative interviews, and a case study analysis of Isourse Technologies’ Gig Ecosystem 2.0 software, this study evaluates technological enablers, sectoral growth trajectories, labour structuring mechanisms, and institutional alignment strategies. The findings indicate that algorithmic optimization and embedded compliance significantly enhance worker retention (up to 40%), reduce idle time (by 35%), improve income predictability (by 60%), and mitigate regulatory risk. Sectoral analysis demonstrates sustained dominance in transportation and logistics, accelerated expansion in remote knowledge services, and rapid growth in healthcare gig services driven by demographic shifts. The Isourse Technologies platform is evaluated as a structural blueprint capable of reconciling flexibility with stability in digital labour markets. The study concludes that Gig Economy 2.0 represents not merely a technological refinement but a systemic reconfiguration of labour governance in the digital era.
