Precarious work: an international problem
Marín, Enrique
Precarious work: an international problem created by - International journal of labour research Volume 5, number 1 .
Huge numbers of under-resourced people head out into the streets every day to sell something or other, or to carry out all sorts of tasks for very little pay, as a way of surviving in a situation of widespread unemployment and few productive job openings. Another reason which explains why many people stay in the informal sector is that they have bad memories of poorly paid, monotonous jobs in firms that offered no career prospects. At least informal work provides them with a sense of feeling of freedom, despite the risks. In that sense, the informal sector is the result of both the lack of productive employment and the failure on the part of entreprises to offer respectable, attractive jobs.
