In the US, think of how different these services would be if we had both a guaranteed income to give these people a baseline of safety, plus a real universal healthcare system to sidestep that entire issue. It would turn this class of people from a 'precariat' into a fluid, task-oriented labor force with few/none of the current negative implications (around both the jobs and the companies supplying them.)
I wonder if the attitude towards these services in countries with UHC systems or more generous safety nets is less negative and stigma-ridden.
