What are the sources for these claims? Your own personal opinion?

  Some is from research into freelancer issues (like https://dievolkswirtschaft.ch/content/uploads/2017/03/16_Giudici_Lepori_Marazzi_DE.pdf https://dievolkswirtschaft.ch/content/uploads/2017/03/16_Giu...), some from participation in freelancer groups in Vancouver and online. Anecdotal. That's part of the curiosity. As more people go solo a lot of traditional support, from social to emotional to financial, is eroding. To me these are still the highlights, and the best places for solutions, but I'm curious where other people see the trends. Back in the day a lot of these problems were solved with the guild system. People were brought into a network, trained, connected to opportunities and support. That doesn't really exist for a lot of freelancers. I'm curious about people personal take and what that says about freelancing in general.
