This document discusses the need for worker support in the peer economy. It begins with an agenda that includes defining the peer economy, who uses it, potential issues, and the need for worker support. The peer economy allows people to monetize existing skills and assets through online marketplaces like Airbnb, Uber, and Etsy. While the peer economy provides benefits like flexibility and supplemental income, providers bear many risks. The document argues for workforce development programs to help providers develop financial literacy and business skills to better take advantage of opportunities in the peer economy.
