According to the International Labour Organization, in 2019, 60% of the world’s working population worked in the informal sector, characterised by a lack of labour rights, social protection and decent working conditions. This meeting explored understandings of precarious employment through a psychological lens, exploring questions such as how workers perceive and experience precarious employment; what the manifold consequences of this kind of employment are; and what how precarious employment can be conceptualised and operationalised within the context of psychological research.
