Journal Title: Central European Review of Economics and Finance - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
Sharing economy is cooperation and sharing based on providing the opportunity to access goods and services to those, who precisely need such a service. This paper attempts to organise the yet unsettled areas of sharing economy that today determine its risk and make it ambiguous, unequal, unfair and objectionable in the eyes of many a business environments. The aim of this article is to analyze the risk associated with sharing economy. To fulfil this aim the author has discussed: the paradigm of consumption and the common good in the context of the economy of the future, the etymology of the term of sharing economy and identification of risk that is linked with this phenomenon. The studies were divided into two parts: the first concerns theoretical risk analysis of the functioning of sharing economy based on subject literature; the second part is a practical analysis of the risk of the impact of sharing economy on the Polish labour market on the example of UBER application. The following research hypothesis was adopted in the paper: The risk of impact of sharing economy on the labour market in Poland is of little significance. The analysis allowed to identify the following risk types in the number of twenty, which are present today in sharing economy: Unequivocal and coherent concept, Data safety, Taxes, Law regulations, Quality, Service performance guarantee, Pursuing claims, Employees rights, Responsibility for clients, Grey market, Competitiveness, Relations: sharing - business, Licences and permissions, Employment relationship, Deflation, Consumer rights protection, Employment, Abuse, Mentality, Sales. A risk analysis of the effects of sharing economy on the Polish labour market showed that this phenomenon was of low significance in the analysed period.
