When single parents consider combining households to survive gig economy income

My sister and I are both single mothers doing gig work because it's the only thing that fits around childcare and school schedules but we're barely scraping by and we keep debating whether to pool our resources and live together or if that would just be two broke people making each other broker. The gig economy promises flexibility for families but the pay makes it almost impossible to actually support a family.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Family members are weighing whether collaborative survival strategies address economic inadequacy or simply redistribute the same insufficient resources.
