摘要:Past decades have been characterized by technological changes and globalization of the economy, which hasled to a change in employment conditions worldwide. Flexible labor markets and decreased impact of tradeunions have contributed to the increase and emergence of insecure ‘non-standard’ forms of employment, such astemporary agency jobs and zero-hour job contracts. During the past ten years, there has been an increase, albeitslight, in precariousness of work in developed countries (1). Although precarious employment is a societal issuewith potential adverse effects on health, the majority of research activity has focused on proximal psychosocialworking conditions within the workplace, which however, represents a small aspect of a complex system involv-ing labor markets, employment and working conditions, psychosocial working conditions, and the relationshipwith health.
