Abstract

The article looks into changes observed in different societal subsystems that occur under the impact of the expanding gig-economy. Special accent is laid on possible responses to the new challenges on the part of the higher education system in the context of fostering skills relevant for the gig-economy and diverse involved target groups. Possible ways are proposed to enhance higher education programmes and professional development courses to gear them towards the needs of the gigeconomy. The novelty is ensured by the targeted examination of the gig-economy paradigm from the perspective of competences of its actors and by the proposal of ways to form and support the relevance of these competences. The practical value is in the possibility to use the materials and conclusions of the article for the enhancement of higher education curricula and of the Federal Higher Education Standards, and professional; development courses for university methodologists and administrators
