Abstract

The shared economy has emerged as a transformative force in various industries, facilitating resource sharing, collaborative consumption, and economic empowerment. However, as the shared economy expands globally, it brings forth a multitude of challenges that require comprehensive examination. This paper utilizes the Scopus database, coupled with the powerful visual analysis tool VOS Viewer, to explore the problematics associated with the shared economy in a global context. Drawing on a wide range of scholarly literature, the study analyzes the regulatory landscape, labor market implications, social dynamics, and environmental impact of the shared economy. The findings reveal the complexities surrounding regulatory frameworks, including consumer protection, taxation, and fair competition. Moreover, the paper investigates the consequences of the shared economy on employment patterns, income inequality, and the socio-economic fabric of societies. Furthermore, it examines the social dynamics of the shared economy, encompassing trust, privacy, and social integration. Additionally, the study delves into the environmental ramifications of increased consumption, resource utilization, and transportation in the shared economy. By employing Scopus and VOS Viewer, this research provides a comprehensive understanding of the problematics of the shared economy in a globalized world, offering valuable insights for policymakers, businesses, and individuals navigating this rapidly evolving economic landscape.
