Close to 56,000 people work through digital platforms in Estonia every week and over 160,000 people have engaged in platform work at least once over the past year, it appears from the results of a study by the Estonian parliament s Foresight Center to be published on Wednesday. Work brokered by digital platforms is widely used in Estonia, but it is mainly done as additional work, expert of the Foresight Center Johanna Vallistu said. The number of people who occasionally take on platform work has increased over the past three years and close to 100,000 people now do so at least once a month.
The use of a personal passenger car for commuting has nearly doubled in Estonia over the past 20 years and transport costs account for 14 percent of people s total expenditure, a report to be published by the Estonian Foresight Center last week shows. Using a private car has grown first and foremost at the expense of traveling by public transport and on foot, Foresight Center expert Uku Varblane said. Estonia has thus risen to among the most car-centered states in the European Union in a short time.
Access to jobs also often depends on whether or not the person has the opportunity to use a personal car.

TALLINN - While the coronavirus crisis has significantly impacted the daily functioning of the economy, it also provides opportunities for economic development for Estonia, economic expert and entrepreneur Raivo Vare wrote in the blog of the Estonian parliament s Foresight Center.

Changes will take place either way, and those who are the first to see the trends and make them work for their advantage will be the winners in this process, Vare said, and listed seven recommendations on how Estonia can remain competitive in the post-coronavirus world.
