Forms of Precarious Work
Precariousness in the world of work is mainly arising from the contractual arrangements under which the work is performed. This includes stand-by, temporary, employment-agency, casual, part-time, seasonal contracts, pseudo self-employment, no direct or an unclear employer/employee relationship, poor protection against dismissal, and lack of – or limited access of workers – to exercise their rights at work.
