Insecure work is measured by a single holistic measure which combines:
- contractual insecurity, where people are not guaranteed future hours or future work – such as jobs in the gig economy, zero contract work or part-time work
- financial insecurity, where people have unpredictable pay or their pay is simply too low to get by
- lack of access to employment rights and protections.
