Description

Most workers on temporary, zero hours and involuntary part-time contracts in the UK are women.

Many are also carers. Yet employment law tends to exclude such women from family-friendly rights.

Drawing on interviews with women in precarious work, this book exposes the everyday problems that these workers face balancing work and care.

It argues for stronger and more extensive rights that address precarious workers' distinctive experiences. Introducing complex legal issues in an accessible way, this crucial text exposes the failures of family-friendly rights and explains how to grant these women effective rights in the wake of COVID-19.
