The International Labour Office has released a report analysing non-standard employment around the world, today. The Report, entitled “Non-standard employment around the world: Understanding challenges, shaping prospects”, combines economic and statistical data with legal investigation, to analyse incidence and trends of non-standard forms of employment globally and explore the reasons behind this phenomenon. It is the result of over a year of technical work led by the INWORK Branch of the ILO and mandated by a Tripartite Meeting of Experts and by the ILO Governing Body.
