The peculiarities of precarious employment of (ASG) trainers (poly-employment, informal labor relations, lack of social guarantees, temporary, part-time employment) are identified and the specifics of working conditions subjective perception are revealed.
It establishes factors determining an attitude to informal employment: whether the work of the trainer is the main employment or additional work-off (a form of secondary employment); it also states cases of non-observance of labor rights, not granting of social guarantees at official employment.
The advantages and disadvantages of the work in precarious conditions are determined. Typical notions of the future labor path and opportunities for professional development are revealed.
