Precarious employment and workplace health outcomes in Britain

Author

Listed:
  • Haile, Getinet Astatike

Abstract

The world of work is changing rapidly, and precarious employment is becoming more prevalent in Britain and elsewhere, particularly since the 2008 financial crisis. This is despite the evidence linking employment precarity to adverse health outcomes, and the policy discourses advocating for high-quality jobs.
