| Description | The evolution of alternative work arrangements such as zero hour contracts and the gig economy appears unlikely to be driven by worker preferences for these jobs. In fact workers would much prefer more secure jobs. Alternatively, low wage sectors such as the social care sector appeared to have responded to the introduction of the National Living Wage by increasing the composition of zero hour contract jobs. |
| Exploitation Route | The research could be used in conjunction with other research concerning alternative work arrangements to design optimal labour market policy. |
