Abstract

This new research uses the Work Foundation’s UK Insecure Work Index, which combines three elements that constitute insecurity at work – employment contracts, personal finances, and access to workers’ rights, to identify a substantial disability insecurity gap. This is concerning, as periods of severely insecure work can worsen a disabled worker’s health and prospects of gaining secure employment.
