In terms of the benefits and the protections, that's my primary concern when it comes to the new types of jobs that are emerging.
We're seeing a lot of growth in temporary work and in contract or freelance work. The reality is that the way in which many of our employee systems work means that these benefits are provided through your employer, but if someone is working for multiple employers, they may not be covered for things like disability insurance or health insurance.
I think it's really a matter of looking at how our social security system is set up and making sure that people aren't falling through the cracks. That's true for immigrant workers, but it's also true for younger people, who tend to be disproportionately represented in these more informal types of work. Looking forward, I think that one of the questions is thinking about our welfare system, thinking about the labour protections that are in place, thinking about our benefits, and ensuring that they move in tandem with the developments in the labour market so that we don't see a bifurcation into permanent jobs that have all of these protections and stability, while a growing number of people are then left behind.
