Measuring employment precariousness in gig jobs: A pilot study among food couriers in Brussels.

What is it about?

Within the extensive literature on precarious working conditions in the gig economy, remarkably little attention has been paid to how we can formally assess precarity. The few existing measurement instruments that seek to capture precarity in the gig economy assess the characteristics of platforms as job providers, but do not consider the situation of individual gig workers. Moreover, these approaches do not account for the different employment statuses of gig workers.

Why is it important?

This research’s objective was to adapt, test and validate the Employment Precariousness Scale (EPRES) to the context of food couriers in Belgium. This is important because remarkably little attention has been paid to how we can formally assess precarity in platform jobs.
