Talk:Precarious work

Fair use rationale for Image:ILO logo.png
Image:ILO logo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

=Men's declining wages=

Perhaps it is worth mentioning that as women entered the labour force, the earning that a man made or his wage declined significantly. A women's earnings or wage did not increase but the average wage (of men) actually decreased. Viewed from this perspective, women entering the labour force was not beneficiary for the working class.

The text contains feminist views in "An important aspect of precarious work is its gendered nature, as women are continuously over-represented in this type of work. ". Currently unemployment is hitting men and there is a fast increasing number of unemployed entrepreneurs, that cannot get a traditional empleyment contract but are not fit as entrepreneur either. Hiding the problem as a gender matter is not productive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.220.237.53 (talk) 07:00, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Mis leading page on precarious work
this needs a talk page as the infomations is somewhat misleading as techically precarious also means a job that does not have a long future rather than just simply the qualities of labor like wage,or living conditions,but rather a thing that will be in the past Postmahomeson (talk) 15:27, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Subjective Assessment of the Term
This wikipedia entry starts out by describing "precarious work" or "precarious worker" as a term used by critics of globalization. This is not altogether accurate and is a subjective assessment of the term. While it may be the case that the term is used by critics of globalization, and is critiqued by some economists and entrepreneurs as a negative term belongs in a sub-section explaining critiques of the principle, NOT at the forefront of the entry. The entry itself should start with an objective definition of "precarious worker" - which can be used for purposes greater than discussions about globalization, such as labor law and regulations, labor rights, standards and policies, discussions about employment rates and benefits, to name just a few.

A more objective definition would describe precarious work as work that is typically paid at a lower rate than a standard full time employee, does not offer access to benefits, is generally at-will - meaning an employer could terminate the worker at any time for any reason, is often temporary in nature, may not qualify for legal protections, may not meet qualifications for union membership. Employers may utilize several part-time employees to fill work that could otherwise be completed by less full-time employees. Employers may workers as independent contractors, which otherwise would be filled by salaried employees. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:14F:4501:1D0:C153:F9A9:3BA2:EE63 (talk) 14:08, 9 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I removed globalization. It's a separate issue. No need to confuse the two. Volunteer1234 (talk) 22:46, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
