🔎What is this research about?🔍
The primary objective of this research project is to collect data to assess the factors contributing to employment precariousness in remote platform work. Precarious employment is characterised by several undesirable features, including reduced financial stability stemming from lower wages, limited access to benefits such as health insurance and paid leave, a lack of social and statutory protections, and increased uncertainty surrounding future employment income. Precarious employment is increasingly recognised as a social determinant of health and an employment condition affecting the well-being of workers, families, and communities. To this end, this research aims to develop and test a measuring instrument (i.e., a scale) to evaluate employment precariousness among platform workers.
