  5. Measures of Precarious Work • Data sources provide some measures of precarious work, such as: • Vulnerable employment (own account worker and contributing family member) • Part time employment • But lack others, such as: • Temporary employment (available from Statistics Japan, Korea and other country level sources) • Employment in the informal sector (some country level statistics are available)
