Precarious is the nature of this sort of work—low wage, full-time or part-time or ‘self- employed’ work that does not even meet the cost of getting to the end of the month. A huge amount of research (some of which is referenced in this report) now defines precarious work, its rise in the proportion of jobs being created, and its consequences for individuals, families, communities, and countries. Precarious work—any work that does not pay well enough to meet basic expenses—is a major driver of social inequality which does its own social and economic damage. It is fast becoming the principle worry of organizations such as the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations. When Peace and Justice Grey Bruce first looked at this matter in October 2013, everyone around the table—health care workers, teachers, First Nations people, ministers—had stories about how such work had, at one time or another, affected them or someone they knew. This report is a summary of the research, open forums and community discussions that the Precarious Work Group of Peace and Justice Grey Bruce held between April 2014 and December 2014.
