прекаризация (Alexander Demidov); заёмный труд (Precarious work is non-standard employment that is poorly paid, insecure, unprotected, and cannot support a household.[1] In recent decades there has been a dramatic increase in precarious work due to such factors as globalization, the shift from the manufacturing sector to the service sector, and the spread of information technology.[1] These changes have created a new economy which demands flexibility in the workplace and, as a result, caused the decline of the standard employment relationship and a dramatic increase in precarious work.[1] An important aspect of precarious work is its gendered nature, as women are continuously over-represented in this type of work. Wiki. Precarious work is a term that is widely used to incorporate a wide range of work forms, such as temporary agency work to homeworking. Although not a precise definition it is generally understood to incorporate internationally recognisable work arrangements such as on call/daily hire, homeworking, self-employment, temporary agency work, probationary periods, student traineeships and fixed term temporary contracts.
