precarious employment. this term has been used to signal that new forms of
work might reduce social security and stability for workers (Benach, Benavides,
platt, diez-roux, & muntaner, 2000; Bielinski, 1999). Flexible, contingent, nonstandard,
temporary work contracts do not necessarily provide an inferior status as
far as economic welfare is concerned. precarious employment forms are located on
a continuum, with the standard of social security provided by a standard (full-time,
year-round, unlimited-duration, with benefits) employment contract at one end and
a high degree of precariousness at the other. precarious employment might also be
considered to be a multidimensional construct defined according to dimensions
such as temporality, powerlessness, lack of benefits and low income (rodgers,
1989; Amable, Benach, & González, 2001). Historically, precarious employment was
once common but declined in what are now the developed economies with
increased government regulation and the increased political influence of organized
labour, as well as changes in technology that favoured more stable work
relationships. currently, precarious employment is becoming more common in
developed economies and is widespread in developing economies (Quinlan,
mayhew, & Bohle, 2001; Bielinski, 1999).
