Özet
With the collapse of the Fordist production system in the 1970s and the subsequent Neoliberal economic policies implemented, the liberalisation of markets was encouraged, and the intervention power and role of the state on the markets were ideologically transformed. The rise of neoliberal policies, in the form of flexibilisation and deregulation, transformed the conditions of the labour markets and resulted in the expansion of non-standard employment (NSE). The literature explains this situation by the spread of NSE and informal employment, labour market segmentation, insidersoutsiders, and dual labour market approaches. It is associated with the concept of the working poor. This study uses an eclectic approach to analyse the connection between NSE and in-work poverty at macro and micro levels. This paper adopts a comparative approach and uses the content analysis method to depict the reality of the relationship between NSE and working poverty. This article argues that concern over in-work poverty, the polarisation of labour markets, and the expansion of low-quality jobs has recently increased, and those employed in non-standard jobs are more likely to be exposed to the risk of poverty. It is recommended that the inadequacy of decent work related to NSE be identified and the necessary arrangements made. Further research and policy changes are needed to thoroughly understand and address these issues.
