In the new research from the Work Foundation, it was revealed that a staggering 44% of individuals in precarious work remained in that same situation four years later. This alarming statistic indicates that insecure jobs often fail to serve as a stepping stone towards stability, which contradicts longstanding assumptions that such roles can lead to better employment opportunities.
Ben Harrison, the director of the Work Foundation, highlighted that insecure work hinders transitions to stable employment: 'The very nature of insecure work makes it more difficult for individuals to transition to secure jobs. Juggling unpredictable pay and hours can make it hard to plan, upskill or find new opportunities.' This perspective sheds light on the implications of job security on workers' career mobility.
