Conceptual guide to the forms of precarious employment module

This module offers an overview of the different dimensions of precarious work. It explores the dominant forms of precarious employment; explains how forms of employment and the extent to which they are precarious differ between nations; and examines how regulatory contexts and frameworks shape precarious forms of employment and their variation.

Although this resource is dated, the first three sections covering key concepts and indicators provide a good foundation for understanding precarious work.
