Abstract

Precarious employment refers to work that is temporary, insecure, unpredictable, poorly paid or unprotected. Precarious employment is on the rise. A recent study by Lewchuk found that half of GTA and Hamilton workers were in precarious jobs. We know that precarious employment has material, social and health consequences for workers and their families. The impact on geographical mobility, however, has not been given much attention.
